Question

Explain with help of example of equation that CaO is a lewis base and BCL3 is a lewis acid

Answer 1

Hey mate!!!!


As we know that if central atom of any compound cintain lone pair then it is consider as Lewis base.

So, in above example CaO, O is as central atom and it contain lone pair so it is called lewis base

While, BCl3 doesn't cintain any lone pair so it is consider as lewis acid.
