Why BF3 acts as Lewis acid ???

Answers

Answered by Rohan216

BF3 is a trigonal-planar molecule because electrons can be found in only three places in the valence shell of the boron atom. As a result, the boron atom is sp2hybridized, which leaves an empty 2pz orbital on the boron atom. BF3 can therefore act as an electron-pair acceptor, or Lewis acid.
