`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» `BF_(3)` is electron deficient and hence acts as Lewis acid. : `NH_(3)` has one lone pair which it can donate to `BF_(3)` and form a coordinate bond. Hence, `NH_(3)` acts as a Lewis base `(H_(3)N : rarr BF_(3))`.
