How boric acid is monobasic acid?

Boric acid behaves as aweak monobasic acid ,because it doesn't donate protons like most acid but rather accept one OH- ,,therefore act as a lewis acid and is better written as : B(OH)3. B(OH)3 + 2H2O = H3O+ + [ B(OH)4]-


What part of speech is behavior?

The word behavior is a noun. It is the way in which one behaves.


Is boric acid monoprotic?

Firstly, a monobasic acid is an acid that is capable of giving one proton (H+ ion) in an acid-base reaction. A Lewis acid is a molecular entity that accepts an electron pair from another entity. Boric Acid is a Monobasic Lewis acid. The word "acid" in Boric acid (H3BO3) gives a wrong idea that Boric acid releases protons. Boric acid is not a Bronsted acid, but a Lewis acid (All Bronsted acids are Lewis acids, but the reverse is not always true), that is it accepts electrons and does not release protons. When H3BO3 is added to water, the following reaction takes place: H2O + H3BO3 -> B(OH)4- + H+ This clears up a lot of things. We see that Boric acid forms a borate ion, by accepting the electon-pair of OH-, thus justifying it being a Lewis acid. The second point is that a H+ ion is generated, which would be used up in an acid base reaction. Hence, it is monobasic too.
