Q

What are the Lewis definitions of an acid and a base? In what way are they more general than the Bromsted definitions?

A

Lewis acid: is a substance that can accept electrons pairs
Lewis base: a substance that can donate a pair of electrons

The importance of the Lewis concept is that it’s more general than the other definitions. Lewis acid-base reactions contain many reactions that don’t contain Bromsted acids
