Group 13 Elements
Are Group 13 elements the only elements that are able to be a Lewis acid in Lewis acid-base reactions? Or is it possible for any atom that needs more electrons but has no more electrons to share?
Re: Group 13 Elements
Some more examples of Lewis acids include the proton (H+) and acidic compounds onium ions, such as NH4+ and H3O+, high oxidation state transition metal cations like Fe3+, other metal cations, such as Li+ and Mg2+, among others.

Re: Group 13 Elements
No there are definitely other Lewis acid/bases reactors like people have mentioned above but group 13 elements are kind of like a guarantee that they are involved in this acid base reactions.
