Question

ticl4 is strong Lewis acid . explain​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lewis acid since it will accept electrons to satisfy its electron deficiency. In fact, it has a +4 charge, so it significantly more electron deficient than a species with a lower positive charge. Thus, it is a very strong Lewis acid that will readily accept electrons from a Lewis base.

please mark as brilliant answer

Answer 2

TiCl4 has a +4 charge and more Electron Deficient

Explanation:

• Lewis acids have an empty orbital with lower energy and thus are able to accept an electron pair, or can donate an H+, while bases can donate a nonbonding electron pair
• Lewis acid, TiCl4 accepts the electrons to complete its octet
• TiCl4 has a +4 charge, so it is more electron deficient than a species carrying a lower positive charge

Thus, it is a very strong Lewis acid that accepts electrons very readily from a Lewis base.
