Consider the Lewis structure for hydrogen fluoride(HF).H—F :A. If hydrogen fluoride were to behave asan acid (assuming that was possible), draw andupload as an attachment here the Lewis structureof its resulting conjugate base.B. Reflecting on your answer for Part A and usingthe three acid-base models from Q1, would youpredict the conjugate base would form? (Does thissituation make sense)? C. If hydrogen fluoride were to behave asa base (assuming that was possible), draw the Lewisstructure of its resulting conjugate acid.D. Reflecting on your answer for Part C and usingthe three acid-base models from Q1, would youpredict the conjugate acid would form? (Does thissituation make sense)?E. Considering your responses to Parts B and D,would you predict hydrogen fluoride would behaveas an acid, a base, either, or neither? Explain yourreasoning.Use the editor to format your answer

1. Which of the following can act as a Lewis acid? (Hint : In each case, draw the Lewis electron dot structure of the molecule or ion. Are there lone pairs of electrons on the central atom? If so, it can be a Lewis base. Does the central atom lack an electron pair? If so, it can behave as a Lewis acid.) PH3 BCl3 H2S HS−
