1.	Is boric acid a protic acid? Explain
Answer» As you know, protic acid give proton in water , it is not a protic acid because it doesn\'t ionize in H2O to give a proton . it acts as Lewis acid by accepting electrons from a hydroxyl ion of water and in turn releases H+ ions.e.g., B(OH)3 + HOH ----> [B(OH)4]- + H+
