    Which one of the following molecular hydrides acts as a Lewis acid?                                        [AIPMT (S) 2010]

    A)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\]           

    B)       \[{{H}_{2}}O\]

    C)  \[{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]         

    D)       \[C{{H}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea Electron deficient molecules behave as Lewis acid.
    Among the given molecules, only diborane is electron deficient, ie, does not have complete octet. Thus, it acts as a Lewis acid.
    \[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\] and \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\] being electron rich molecules behave as Lewis base
