According to this explanation, theacceptor orbital (empty p orbital) on boron is involved to a greater extent in n bonding in BF3 and BCl3 than in BBr3, the Lewis acidity of BF3 andBCl3 are diminished relative to BBr3.Boron trichloride is expected to be the stronger Lewis acid of the two for two reasons.
