Answer:
according to lewis theory any compound which can donate a pair of electrons is considered as base
and any compound which can accept a pair of electrons is considered as acid
hence ammonia is a base since it can donate a pair of electrons to the BF3 ( electron deficient / lewis acid ) molecule
