    Arrange halides of group 13 elements in correct order of lewis acidic strength \[\left[ Hint X : halogen \right]\]

    A)  \[{{\operatorname{BX}}_{3}} > AI{{X}_{3}} > Ga{{x}_{3}} > In{{X}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[B{{X}_{3}}<AI{{X}_{3}}<Ga{{X}_{3}}<In{{X}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[{{\operatorname{BX}}_{3}} < AI{{X}_{3}} > Ga{{X}_{3}} < In{{X}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[{{\operatorname{BX}}_{3}}<AI{{X}_{3}}>Go{{X}_{3}}>In{{X}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Electronegativity of central metal decreases.  electron accepting tendency decreases lewis acidic strength decreases Greater the electronegativity of central metal greater the electron density accepting ability. Hence greater lewis acidic strength.
