Document Summary

5. 1 acid-base theory - lewis and bronsted-lowry www. docbrown. info. Lewis acids and bases and the bronsted-lowry theory of acids and bases: lewis acid-base electron pair theory. A base is an electron pair donor and an acid is an electron pair acceptor. e. g. a non b-l, but a lewis acid-base interaction is boron trifluoride (lewis-acid, electron pair acceptor) reacting with ammonia (lewis-base, electron pair donor). Note: in organic chemistry mechanisms, nucleophiles are lewis bases and electrophiles are lewis acids and they may fit into the. Bronsted-lowry definition too e. g. protonation of alcohols and alkenes via acid. In transition metal chemistry, ligands like water, can donate a pair of non-bonding electrons (lone pair) into a vacant orbital of a central metal ion and so dative covalent (co-ordinate) bonds hold a complex together. The central metal ion with vacant bonding orbitals can act as a lewis acid by accepting an electron pair to form a dative covalent bond.
