Answer 2

Hey mate, here is your answer :


Through the use of the Lewis definition of acids and bases, chemists are now able to predict a wider variety of acid-base reactions.Lewis' theory used electrons instead of proton transfer and specifically stated that an acid is a species that accepts an electron pair while a basedonates an electron pair.
