Using Curved arrows show how acetaldehyde can act as a lewis base with aluminum trichloride as the lewis acid?
HELLO,,,you're not supposed to put anything metal in the microwave, you can start a fireNOT A JOKE, and that goes for aluminum foil tooYou should be using wax paper or plastic that's microwave safe.
A Lewis base is an electron pair donor, so the acetaldehyde will donate electrons to the aluminum trichloride, the Lewis acidBasically, what will happen is that a bond will form between the two moleculesYou use the curved arrow to show the electron flow (sorry, can't draw that on here)If you have trouble with how to draw it, try this website: academic.reed.edu/chemistry/roco/It seems to explain it decently wellBest of luck.
