Answer» acid can accept an ELECTRON PAIR and form a bond. A Brønsted-Lowry acid can GIVE up a PROTON which does exactly that, and thus every Brønsted-Lowry acid fits the definition of a Lewis acid. As you noted in the QUESTION, every Brønsted-Lowry baseis also a Lewis base, but the reverse isnot true. |
