Lewis Acids

[Amina Durrani 3G]

I'm a little confused about this. In my notes I wrote that a species that accepts an electron pair is a lewis acid, but if it accepts an electron, doesn't it get more negative, or basic? Wouldn't a lewis acid be a species that accepts an H+?

An acid accepts an electron pair, a base donates an electron pair.

[Nathan Nakaguchi 1G]

I remember it as a base will take electrons while an acid will receive electrons (I use bronsted definition).

I like using both definitions simultaneously because they complement each other well and can be depicted in an actual acid-base reaction.
