● A Lewis acid is a lone pair acceptor and a Lewis base is a lone pair donor.
Guidance ● Relations between Brønsted–Lowry and Lewis acids and bases should be discussed. ● Both organic and inorganic examples should be studied. ● When a Lewis base reacts with a Lewis acid a coordinate bond is formed. ● A nucleophile is a Lewis base and an electrophile is a Lewis acid. |
● Application of Lewis acid–base theory to inorganic and organic chemistry to identify the role of the reacting species.
