Answer:
For example, neutral compounds of boron, aluminum, and the other Group 13 elements, which possess only six valence electrons, have a very strong tendency to gain an additional electron pair. ... The highly electronegative oxygen atoms pull electron density away from carbon, so the carbon atom acts as a Lewis acid.
