Which one of the following molecular hydrides acts as a Lewis acid?
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
is a Lewis acid here as it is electron deficient (6 electron) so it can accept electrons. are Lewis bases as they have lone pair of electrons to donate. is neither Lewis acid nor Lewis base as it can not donate (have no lone pair) or accept electron (have no vacant orbital).
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
