Which of the following is not a Lewis acid ?A. `AlCl_(3).6H_(2)O`B. `AlCl_(3)`C. `SnCl_(4)`D. `FeCl_(3)` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A `AlCl_(3), SnCl_(4)` and `FeCl_(3)`act as Lewis acids because central atom in them have one vacant 3p orbital and five 3d orbitals. But in `AlCl_(3).6H_(2)O`, all these empty orbitals get occupied. Hence it cannot act as Lewis acid. |
