    Consider the coordination compound\[{{[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{3+}}\]. In the formation of this complex, the species which acts as the Lewis acid is:

    A) \[{{[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{3+}}\]        

    B) \[C{{l}^{-}}\]

    C) \[C{{o}^{3+}}\]                                 

    D) \[N{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Lewis \\  acid \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{o}^{3+}}}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Lewis \\  base \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{6N{{H}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{adduct}{\mathop{{{[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{3+}}}}\,\]
