Which of the following is not a Lewis acid?

A aluminium chloride
B sodium ion
C sulphur tetrafluoride
D hydroxide ion

Correct Answer: hydroxide ion

Lewis acids are molecules with an incomplete octet of central atoms like aluminium chloride, simple cations like sodium ion, and molecules in which the central atom has vacant d-orbital like sulphur tetrafluoride, but hydroxide ion is a negatively charged species. So it is not a Lewis acid.
