Your answer:
Cl- NH3 H3O+ BF3 |
Ca2+ OH2 SH2 K+ |
b) Which of the following are considered to be Lewis Bases? Choose all that apply.
Your answer:
F- Na+ Fe2+ BH3 |

A lewis acid is defined as an electron-pair acceptor, and a Lewis base is defined as an electron pair donor.
a) Ca2+ , H3O+ , BF3 , k+ are lewis acids. But OH2 and SH2 can act as both lewis acids and lewis base as well.
b) F-, H-, OH-, PH3 all these are lewis base.
