Chapter 3, Problem 23P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using curved arrows and showing all nonbonding electron pairs, each of the given reaction is to be rewritten.

Concept Introduction:

Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors.

Lewis bases are electron pair donors.

Any electron deficient species can act as a Lewis acid, such as compounds containing group IIIA elements like boron or aluminium.

Compounds having vacant orbitals also act as Lewis acids like halides of iron, zinc and aluminium
