Answer» ALewis baseis an electron-pair donor. Because theLewis basedonates electrons, we can also say that it is a nucleophile, which is a substance that behaves as an electron donor. So, when we look at anacid-basereaction, theLewis basedonates a pair of nonbonding electrons to the acid. Lewis base is a substance that can donate an electron pair. those species that have a lone pair always form Lewis base so H^- is a lewis base as it possess a lone pair and can donate it. |
