Respuesta :

What are the differences between Lewis acids and Bronsted-Lowry acids and Lewis bases and Bronsted-Lowry bases?

  • A Lewis acid which is a chemical species contains an empty orbital that is capable of accepting an electron pair from a Lewis base and forms a Lewis adduct.
  • A Bronsted-Lowry acid is any species that is capable of donating a proton (H+) to another molecule.
  • A Lewis base, is a species which has a filled orbital and contains an electron pair that is not involved in bonding but can form a dative bond with a Lewis acid to form a Lewis adduct.
  • A species which can accept a proton from another molecule is a Bronsted-Lowry base
  • In brief, a proton donor (PD) is a Bronsted-Lowry acid, while a Bronsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor (PA).
