    Which one is the Lewis acid?

    A) \[{{H}_{2}}O\]                                  

    B) \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[RN{{H}_{2}}\]                               

    D) \[N{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Electron acceptors are Lewis acid (i) \[{{H}_{2}}\overset{\bullet \,\,\bullet }{\mathop{O}}\,,\,\,R-\overset{\bullet \,\,\bullet }{\mathop{N}}\,{{H}_{2}}\]and \[\overset{\bullet \,\,\bullet }{\mathop{N}}\,{{H}_{3}}\] are electron donors and Lewis acid. (ii) \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\] is electron deficient compound and is electron acceptor. So it is Lewis acid.
