Question 6 • Chemistry

Which best describes the definition of Lewis acids and bases?

Answer
A
a specific definition based on a compound’s ability to donate protons
B
a general definition based on hydrogen ion concentration
C
a general definition based on electron structure
D
a specific definition based on a compound’s ability to accept protons

Explanation

Lewis acids accept electron pairs, and Lewis bases donate electron pairs. This definition focuses on electron structure and applies more broadly than definitions based on accepting or donating protons, so the best choice is “a general definition based on electron structure.”
