    The relative Lewis acid character of boron trihalides is the order

    A) \[\int_{1}^{4}{{{\log }_{e}}[x]dx}\]

    B) \[{{\log }_{e}}2\]

    C) \[{{\log }_{e}}3\]

    D) \[{{\log }_{e}}6\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\left. \left. +{{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{\sqrt{12}}{4}+{{\sec }^{-1}}\sqrt{2} \right) \right\}\] This order can be easily explained on the basis of the tendaney of the halogen atom to back donate its lone pair of electrones to empty p-orbital of the boron atom through \[\frac{\pi }{4}\] bonding.
