Lewis acid/base confusion (1 Viewer)

[petayani]

Does anyone know which is which? Is it acid: electron acceptor, base: electron donor? Or maybe nothing to do with electrons at all...

 

[jumb]

Correct, theyre proton donors not electron

Dont need to know lewis.

The one you mentioned is Bronsted-Lowry

 

[petayani]

Correct, theyre proton donors not electron

Aren't protons part of the Bronsted-Lowry theory?

b-l is the one mentioned here, wat did lewis do????

 

[tina_goes_doo]

My bad. That was for jumb's comment.

He expanded the definition, acids are electron pair acceptors bases electron pair donors.

But it was removed from the syllabus. DONT LEARN IT TONIGHT

Xayma man, you save my life

Too late! hahaha...stupid Chemistry Contexts and teacher.

I knew I'd never seen it before. Oh well lol

No...

Acids are gamma ray acceptors. They accept a gamma ray which makes them raise their energy state depending on the energy of the gamma ray (given by E=hf). The acid then decays back to its ground state, releasing an amount of quarks proportional to the change in mass (relativistically speaking) caused by the gamma collision...

Bug, get your physics mumbo-jumbo outta here!

Yes, I have problems with reading the question.

Also problems with thinking. Meh.
