Question

Draw the lewis structure of the 1:1 adduct that forms in the lewis acid-base reaction between boron trifluoride (bf3) and dimethyl ether ((ch3)2o).

Answer 1

Boron Trifluoride is considered as Lewis acid which contain vacant orbital and can accept lone-pair of electrons while dimethyl ether is considered as Lewis base which contain lone pair and can donate it to BF₃ to form co-ordination bond as follow:
