Some compounds with
multiple bonds can behave
as Lewis acids. For example,
the reaction of carbon
dioxide with water to form
carbonic acid , H2 CO3, can be
pictured as an attack by a
water molecule on CO2, in which the water
acts as an electron-pair donor and the CO2 as
an electron-pair acceptor, as shown below.
