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 |
