Which equilibrium can be described as Lewis acid-base reaction but not Bronsted acid-base reaction?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

{\left[ {\mathrm{Cu}{{\left( {{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{O}} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 + }} + 4\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3}\leftrightharpoons{\left[ {\mathrm{Cu}{{\left( {\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 + }} + 4{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{O}

Option D is correct because the reaction involves the donation of electron pairs from NH3 to Cu2+, which is a Lewis acid-base interaction, but no proton transfer, thus not a Bronsted acid-base reaction.
