(A) Greater the ability of MCl4 to accept electron pairs, greater will be its Lewis acid character. Since all chlorides, the Lewis acid character depends upon the electronegativity of M. Te has the least electronegativity among Te, Se and S, and hence, TeCl4 is the best electron pair acceptor and SCl4 is the poorest Lewis acid.
