प्रश्न
Which of the following is a Lewis acid?
विकल्प
AlCl3
MgCl2
CaCl2
BaCl2
उत्तर
AlCl3
Explanation:
Lewis acids are the species in which the state is not complete and ready to accept electrons. Because Al is surrounded by 6 electrons in AlCl3 and all three Cl atoms are surrounded by 8 electrons, AlCl3 is an electron acceptor. It is a covalent compound.

Explain the following:
BF3 does not hydrolyse.
A tetravalent element forms monoxide and dioxide with oxygen. When air is passed over heated element (1273 K), producer gas is obtained. Monoxide of the element is a powerful reducing agent and reduces ferric oxide to iron. Identify the element and write formulas of its monoxide and dioxide. Write chemical equations for the formation of producer gas and reduction of ferric oxide with the monoxide.
