Answer:
Boric acid is a weak monobasic lewis acid (accepts electrons) of boron.
The chemical formula of boric is H3BO3 also written as B(OH)3.
This weak boric acid accepts hydroxyl ion from the water, It does not dissociate to give hydrogen ion or hydronium ion i.e. H3O+.
The reaction takes place as:
Hence it is not Arrhenius acid.
