F- ion can react with BF3, forming the BF4- anion. In this reaction, the BF3 molecule acts as a Lewis acid, accepting an electron pair from the F-ion to form a coordinate covalent bond. the F-ion acts as a Brønsted base, accepting a proton from the BF3 molecule. the F-ion acts as a Lewis base, donating a proton to the BF3 molecule the F-ion acts as a Brønsted acid, donating a proton to the BF3 molecule. the BF3 molecule acts as a Lewis base, donating an electron pair to the F-ion to form a coordinate covalent bond.
