These acids have only one hydrogen atom to donate to a base in an acid base reaction just because they have one replaceable hydrogen they are known as monobasic .If they are capable to donate 2 or 3 hydrogen then it is known as dibasic or tribasic.
Examples of monobasic molecules are HCl, HNO3, HF and HBr.
Boric acid in water, accepts OH-ion acting as lewis acid and water releases H+ions. The reaction is as follows :
THE EQUATION IS :
B(OH)3 + H2O→ H+ + [ B(OH)4]-
