Answer. A substance, molecule or ion which can accept a pair of electrons is called Lewis acid. BF3 is an electro deficient compound and can accept pair of electrons so it behaves as Lewis acid. For example,
                                                                                     '                                           '
         BF3 + NH3        F3B-NH3
