Question

difference between Lewis acid base and arenius acid base

Answer 1

1) In the Lewis theory of acid-basereactions, bases donate pairs of electrons and acids accept pairs of electrons. A Lewis acid is therefore any substance, such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. In other words, a Lewis acidis an electron-pair acceptor.

2) The Arrhenius acid-base concept classifies a substance as an acid if it produces hydrogen ions H(+) or hydronium ions in water. A substance is classified as a base if it produces hydroxide ions OH(-) in water. ... Other ways of classifying substances as acids or bases are the Bronsted-Lowry concept and the Lewis concept.
