NH2 does not act as lewis acid. it is the conjugate base of NH3
whreas all the above except NH2 are electron deficient and easily accept electrons and act as lewis acid
Rohit
I think the answer is NH2 .
Lewis acids are electrophiles i.e. electron deficient species.
Nucleophiles are thus Lewis bases i.e. electron rich.
NH2 is a nucleophile while other species are electrophiles.
Hope it helps you.
