Gaurav Seth 6 years ago

The substance which can accept the electron pair donated by the Lewis base, they are termed as Lewis acid.
 is a compound which is made up of two atoms namely boron and fluorine.
The atomic number of boron is 5 and its electronic setup is 2, 3. Its valency is 3 and Flourine (2,7) valency is 1.
Consequently, by imparting 1 electron to every fluorine molecule, boron has 3 sigma bonds around it which means that each boron atom is surrounded by 6 electrons.
To have the steady octet setup Boron needs 2 additional electrons.
Since boron can accept a couple of electrons from Lewis base, it is considered as Lewis acid.
