BF_3 does not have proton but still acts as an acid and reacts with NH_3 Why is it so ? What type of bond is formed between the two ?

Answer»

Solution :`BF_3`is an electron DEFICIENT MOLECULE and so ACTS as Lewis acid. `ddotNH_3` has ONE lone pair which it can donate to `BF_3` and form a COORDINATE bond. So, `NH_3` acts as a Lewis base.
