Orthoboric acid is a weak monobasic Lewis acid.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked by my college director while I was bunking the class.My question is taken from p-Block Elements topic in section p-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) True

The best I can explain: When 1 mole of orthoboric ACID combines with two moles of water it gives an ANION of BORON hydroxide and 1 HYDRONIUM ion, it proves that orthoboric acid is a weak monobasic acid as well as a lewis acid, so the above statement is considered to be true.
