                    According to Lewis, bases are substances which have unshared pair of electron and can donate the electron pair to the formation of co-ordinate covalent bond. Hence,\[{{H}_{2}}\overset{\bullet \,\,\bullet }{\mathop{O{}_{\bullet }^{\bullet }}}\,\]is a Lewis base while\[B{{F}_{3}},AlC{{l}_{3}},\]and\[S{{O}_{2}}\]are Lewis acid.
