Question : 10 of 36
Marks: +1, -0
Do you expect the carbon hydrides of the type (CnH2n+2)(C_nH_{2n + 2}) to act as Lewis acid or base? Justify your answer.
Solution:  
The type (CnH2n+2)(C_nH_{2n + 2}) is not a Lewis acid or a Lewis base because carbon atoms have a complete octet, therefore, hydrides behave as normal covalent hydrides.
