    Which one of the following compounds, is nota protonic acid?

    A) \[SO{{(OH)}_{2}}\]                         

    B) \[S{{O}_{2}}{{(OH)}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[B{{(OH)}_{3}}\]                           

    D)  \[PO{{(OH)}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[B{{(OH)}_{3}}\] is not a protonic acid because it does not give proton on ionisation directly while it acts as Lewis acid due to acceptance of \[O{{H}^{-}}\]from water and forms a hydrated species.                 \[B{{(OH)}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}[B{{(OH)}_{4}}]+{{H}^{+}}\]
