Question 22 • Chemistry

Lewis acids and bases are most closely associated with which process?

Answer
A
proton transfer
B
the formation of a conjugate acid or base
C
electron transfer
D
the formation of aqueous ions

Explanation

A Lewis base donates an electron pair, and a Lewis acid accepts that pair, often forming a new bond. This is most closely related to electron transfer among the choices, although it specifically involves a pair of electrons—not the full electron transfer typical of a redox reaction. Proton transfer and conjugate acid–base formation describe Brønsted–Lowry chemistry.
