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

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

    B)  \[S{{O}_{2}}{{(OH)}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[B{{(OH)}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[PO{{(OH)}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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