Answer : The correct option is, (D) CO₂, BCl₃, and Fe³⁺
Explanation :
According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.
(a)
It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs.
(b)
It is not a Lewis-acid because it can not accepts electron pairs but it is a base because it can donates and accept hydrogen ion.
(c)
It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs because it has an incomplete octet and an empty 2p orbital.
(d)
It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs.
Hence, the ions which behave as Lewis acids are, CO₂, BCl₃, and Fe³⁺
