Answer:Boric acid is a weak mono basic lewis acid
Explanation:
H3BO3 exists as hexagonal rings which are stabilised through hydrogen bonding. There is only one O-H bond available for cleavage as the other two O-H bonds are involved in hydrogen bonding. It forms complex after loss of proton. This prevents further deprotonation.
