Question 24 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which best describes the definition of Lewis acids and bases?

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

Explanation

Lewis acids and bases are defined by how they interact with electron pairs: a Lewis acid accepts an electron pair, and a Lewis base donates one. This makes the definition a general one based on electron structure, rather than on hydrogen ion concentration or proton transfer.
