Answer:

In the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, 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 acid is an electron-pair acceptor. A Lewis base is any substance, such as the OH- ion, that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. A Lewis base is therefore an electron-pair donor.

Answer:

A Lewis acid is a substance that can accept a pair of electrons to form a new bond. They are sometimes referred to as electrophiles, or seekers of an additional electron pair. A Lewis base is a substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a new bond. They are sometimes referred to as nucleophiles, or seekers of a positive nucleus. Neutralization is the sharing of an electron pair between an acid and base. The product formed in a neutralization reaction is sometimes called an adduct or complex.
