In the reaction

\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_3+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow\left[\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_4\right]^{-}+\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}. \mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_3

functions as:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

Lewis acid

Option D (Lewis acid) is correct because

B(OH)_3

accepts electrons from water to form

[B(OH)_4]^-

and

H_3O^+

, acting as a Lewis acid.
