    In the following reaction, \[N{{H}_{3}}+B{{F}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}N{{H}_{3}}\to B{{F}_{3}}\] which behaves like Lewis base?

    A)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\]             

    B)  \[B{{F}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\to B{{F}_{3}}\]      

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     According to Lewis concept, Lewis base is electron pair donor and Lewis acid is electron pair acceptor. Hence,\[N{{H}_{3}}\]behaves as Lewis base and\[B{{F}_{3}}\]as Lewis acid. \[\underset{donor}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}N_{\bullet }^{\bullet }}}\,+\underset{acceptor}{\mathop{B{{F}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}{{H}_{3}}N\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}B{{F}_{3}}\]
