Question

Is Cu+ or Cu2+ a stronger Lewis acid?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A #"Lewis acid"# is an electron pair acceptor. A priori we would expect that a dication, #"cupric ion"#, is more Lewis acidic than #"cuprous ion"#. In order to quantify this prediction we might compare complex formation constants for #[CuL_6]^(2+)# versus #[CuL_6]^(+)#.

Answer 2

Answer:

Thus, Cu2+ is the stronger Lewis acid.
