The Lewis structure for OF2 is:
.. .. ..
:F-O-F:
'' '' ''
We know that this is the best structure because the formal charge on each atom is 0, and the overall charge of the molecule is 0. Even without formal charge calculations we can predict this structure because we know that Halogens, such as Fluorine, never form double bonds.
OF2 is not lewis acid...
but it is lewis base...

No it is not a Lewis Acid, H+ is!
OF2 is covalent.
I think it is acid, because there is a question that asks the acid site of SO3.
Sf6 acts as an lewis acid............

No it is not a Lewis Acid, H+ is!
OF2 is covalent.
Neither, it's a salt.
I think it is acid, because there is a question that asks the acid site of SO3.
A Lewis acid accepts electron pairs.
Sf6 acts as an lewis acid............
A Lewis acid accepts electron pairs.
OF2 = Bent structure
Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor.
Aluminium trichloride is a salt. It is considered an acid after Lewis theory.
What is the name of OF2? The correct answer is oxygen difluoride.
