All Lewis acids are not Bronsted acids. Why? |
| Answer» Solution :Lewis base is attracted by any ELECTRON DEFICIENT PARTICLE. It is called a nucleophile, Bronsted base, by DEFINITION, is attracted by proton only. It is called a protophile. A protophile (attract proton) is considered as a nucleophile, (ATTRACTS all positive species) but a nucleophile need not be a protophile. | |
