question_answer 1)

Do you expect the carbon hydride of the type \[({{C}_{n}}{{H}_{2n+2}})\]to act as Lewis acid or base? Justify your answer.

Answer:

Carbon hydride of the type \['{{C}_{n}}{{H}_{2n+2}}'\] neither acts as a Lewis acid nor acts as a Lewis base as it is electron precise hydride, i.e., it is a normal covalent compound as each carbon atom has complete octet.
