Q12 / 90 · KVPY 2016 (SB/SX) · Chemistry

The most stable Lewis acid-base adduct among the following is

  • A
    $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{BCl}_{3}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S} \rightarrow \mathrm{BCl}_{3}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{~N} \rightarrow \mathrm{BCl}_{3}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{P} \rightarrow \mathrm{BCl}_{3}$

Solution

Greater is the tendency to donate $\ell$.p more stable will be the lewis. acid-acid-base adduct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
