Question

justify H+ ion as a lewis acid?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

H+ion as a act as a Lewis acid because they protonate by accepting an electron pair from non-bonding electron such as a base of OH-,NH3 etct . to form a convalent bond.

Answer 2

Lewis acid is a substance that can accept lone pair of electrons to form a covalent bond.

• H+ is known as a proton.
• It has no valence electrons.
• It also has an empty shell.
• It works as a lewis acid because it can receive a lone pair of electrons to form a bond.
• Any substance that deprives electrons can act as a Lewis acid.
• It needs two electrons to achieve stability.
• It attains its stability by forming a duplet.
• So it is in short of electrons.
• Therefore, it readily accepts the pair of electrons.
• Thus, it acts as a Lewis Acid.
