Consider the two Lewis structures given below. Which of the following statements is correct?

In a reaction, 1 would function as a Lewis base while 2 would function as a Lewis acid.

2 would have similar Lewis acid-base properties as AlCl3.

1 can be classified as both a Brànsted-Lowry and a Lewis acid.

2 can be classified as both a Brànsted-Lowry and a Lewis base.

Expert Solution

From the lewis structures BCl3 acts as lewis acid and NH3 acts as lewis base. Because B has empty orbital to accept a pair of electrons and N has a lone pair of electrons to donate.

BCl3 can acts as only Lewis acid because it can not donate H+ ion according to Brownsted acid.

NH3 can acts as both Lewis Base and Bronsted Base, Because it can donate lone pair of electrons and it can accept H+ ion.
