20. Between $Na^{+}$ and $Ag^{+}$ , which is stronger Lewis acid and why?

(1997, 3M)

Show Answer

Solution:

$Ag^ {+}$ is a stronger Lewis acid because it can easily accommodate lone pair of electrons from Lewis base. On the other hand, $Na^ {+}$ has noble gas configuration, cannot accept lone pair of electrons, not at all a Lewis acid.
