  1. BI3

    It's the electron-deficient species. Lewis acids are electron acceptors, Lewis bases are electron donors.

    Bronsted-Lowry acids are proton donors, etc, etc.

    I dare Roadkill to be correct.


  2. I dare you to read about Lewis acids and bases.

    The lewis acid donates a pair of electrons and the lewis base accepts a pair of electrons.

    In your case the ammonia donates a pair of electrons making it the Lewis acid.

  3. BI3 IS ELECTRON ACCEPTOR,BECAUSE OF THE BULKY IODINE

    NH3 HERE IS A LEWIS BASE IT DONATES THE PAIR
