What is Lewis concept (electronic concept)?

Answer»

An acid is a molecule/ion which can accept an electron pair with the formation of a coordinate bond. 

Acid → e pair acceptor

Ex: Electron deficient molecules : BF3, AlCl3 

Cations : H+ , Fe2+, Na+ 

Molecules with vacant orbitals : SF4, PF3

A base is any molecule/ion which has a lone pair of electrons which can be donated. 

Base → (One electron pair donate)

Ex: Molecules with lone pairs : NH3 , PH3 , H2O, CH3OH
