Question 4 • S1S: Chemistry B (E4912 - AG)

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

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

Explanation

Lewis acids accept an electron pair, and Lewis bases donate one. Their interaction is therefore most closely associated with electron-pair transfer, not proton transfer. Proton transfer is the defining process for Brønsted–Lowry acids and bases.
