Can someone explain the lewis acid / base orgo question and explain why? **Question 10:**When comparing anisole (A) to oxygen-containing compound B, which statement is correct?![Image of chemical structures for compounds A and B]- **Compound A:** Anisole is depicted with a benzene ring attached to an oxygen atom, which is further connected to an alkyl group.- **Compound B:** The structure shown is an ether with two alkyl groups attached to the oxygen atom.**Options:**a) The oxygen in A is a better Lewis acid b) The oxygen in B is a better Lewis acid c) The oxygen in A is a better Lewis base d) The oxygen in B is a better Lewis base e) Both oxygens are equally Lewis-y **Explanation:**The problem is comparing the Lewis acid/base properties of oxygen in anisole (A) versus the ether in compound B. Considering electron donation and acceptance, consider which oxygen can act as a better electron pair donor or acceptor based on the molecular structures and substituents.

A Lewis acid accepts a pair of electrons and forms a new covalent bond. A Lewis base donates a pair…
