Question:medium
Which of the following sets has Lewis acid behaviour for all the components?
Which of the following sets has Lewis acid behaviour for all the components?
Show Hint
Molecules containing central atoms from the 3rd period or below (like Si, P, S) often act as Lewis acids even if they have a full octet, because they can use their empty d-orbitals to accept more electrons.
