Acidity of BF3 can be explained on the basis of:
1. Arrhenius concept
2. Bronsted Lowry concept
3. Lewis concept
4. Bronsted Lowry as well as Lewis concept
Hint: accepts lone pair from base.
Explanation:
GN Lewis in 1923 defined an acid as a species which accepts an electron pair and base which donates and electron pair. As BF3 is an electron deficient compound, hence, it is a Lewis acid and it accepts electron from lewis base
