Question

Explain boric acid behives a lewis a
cid

Answer 1

Boric acid contains 3−OH groups yet it acts as monobasic acid rather than tribasic acid. Because boric acid does not act as proton donor but it accepts a lone pair of electrons from OH−

ions and forms B(OH)4−

. Boric acid behaves as Lewis acid because it accepts a lone pair of electrons from OH−

ions from water.

Boric acid considered as weak acid because it does not dissociate to produce ions rather forms metaborate ion and in turn release ions.
