MCQ
Lewis acid
- APresence of $H$ atom is necessary
- BIs a electron pair donor
- CAlways a proton donor
- ✓Is a electron pair acceptor
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Is a electron pair acceptor
d
Lewis acids accept an electron pair. Lewis Acids are electrophilic meaning that they are electron attracting. When bonding with a base the acid uses its lowest unoccupied molecular orbital or $LUMO$.
