Q6.36:
Which of the followings are Lewis acids? $H_2O$, $BF_3$, $H^{+}$, and $NH_4^{+}$
Solution :
1. Theoretical Foundation: Defining Lewis Acids
According to the Lewis acid-base theory, a Lewis acid is defined as a chemical species (molecule or ion) that is an electron-pair acceptor. This implies the species must possess either an incomplete octet (electron-deficient) or the ability to expand its coordination sphere to accommodate a lone pair of electrons from a Lewis base (electron-pair donor). [Reference: Lewis Theory of Acids and Bases, 1923].
2. Systematic Analysis of Species
| Species | Electronic Configuration/Structure | Lewis Acid Status |
|---|---|---|
| $H_2O$ | Contains two lone pairs of electrons on the Oxygen atom. | Lewis Base (Donor) |
| $BF_3$ | Boron is $sp^2$ hybridized with 6 valence electrons; octet is incomplete. | Lewis Acid (Acceptor) |
| $H^{+}$ | A proton (empty $1s$ orbital); requires 2 electrons to complete its shell. | Lewis Acid (Acceptor) |
| $NH_4^{+}$ | Nitrogen has formed 4 bonds with a complete octet; no empty orbitals/lone pairs for further acceptance. | Not a Lewis Acid |
3. Molecular Analysis and Visual Representation
The electron deficiency of $BF_3$ can be visualized as follows:
4. Detailed Justification
- $BF_3$: Boron is surrounded by only 6 electrons in its valence shell upon forming three $B-F$ bonds. It lacks a complete octet, allowing it to accept an electron pair (e.g., from $NH_3$ to form $F_3B \leftarrow NH_3$).
- $H^{+}$: As a bare proton, it has an vacant $1s$ orbital. It readily accepts electron pairs from nucleophiles, fitting the definition perfectly.
- $H_2O$: Oxygen carries two lone pairs, which it can donate to coordinate with an acid. Thus, it acts as a Lewis Base.
- $NH_4^{+}$: While it is a Brønsted-Lowry acid (proton donor), it cannot act as a Lewis acid because the Nitrogen atom has reached its maximum octet capacity (forming 4 covalent bonds) and has no vacant orbitals to accept an additional pair of electrons.
Final Solution: The Lewis acids among the given species are $BF_3$ and $H^{+}$.
