Which of the following compound CANNOT act as a Lewis base?
Solution
NF<sub>3</sub> has no vacant orbital neither in nitrogen nor in fluorine so it cannot
accept the electron & hence cannot acts as lewis acid and but for PCl<sub>5</sub> P has
no L.P & hence it cannot acts as base but ClF3 (3 B.P + 2 L.P) & SF<sub>4</sub> (4 B.P +
1 L.P)
