Am I right ?

Coordinate bond is depicted by an arrow, where the tail points towards the atom which is deficient in electron and the arrowhead points towards the atom which has donated the electron.

Q. Assertion: Both reactions are Lewis acid-base reactions?
i.

N H_{3} + B F_{3} ⟶ H_{3} N - B F_{3}

ii.

M g + S ⟶ M g^{2 +} + S^{2 -}

Reason: Lewis acid-base reaction involve the donation of lone pair electrons from base to acid. This donation results in a coordinate bond.

Q. Substances which can donate lone pairs of electrons to form coordinate covalent bonds are called:

Q. State whether the statement is true or false.
