BF3 is regarded as a Lewis acid because it can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base to form a coordinate covalent bond. In BF3, the boron atom has an incomplete octet of electrons, making it electron deficient and able to accept electron pairs from other molecules or ions. This ability to accept electron pairs and form coordinate covalent bonds is a characteristic of Lewis acids.
