$AlCl_3$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The $Br	ext{ø}nsted-Lowry$ theory defines acids as proton $(H^+)$ donors and bases as proton acceptors.$H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$ act as proton donors,fitting the $Br	ext{ø}nsted-Lowry$ definition.$AlCl_3$ and $SO_2$ do not contain ionizable protons and act as Lewis acids (electron pair acceptors),which is explained by the Lewis theory,not the $Br	ext{ø}nsted-Lowry$ theory.Since both $AlCl_3$ and $SO_2$ are listed as options,and the question asks for an example not covered by the theory,both are technically correct; however,$AlCl_3$ is the classic example of a Lewis acid.
