Characteristics of Lewis acids

[Helen Struble 2F]

Do Lewis acids have the same qualities as Bronsted acids, even if there is no transfer of H₊ ion? Would they still taste sour or can we only make this assumption for traditional Bronsted acids?

What differentiates Bronsted acids from Lewis acids are the definitions of each. However, they are both acids, so they would still share the same properties that acids have, though their strengths may vary.

Lewis acids would have the same qualities as Bronsted acids. However, a Bronsted acid donates H+, so there would have to be a proton transfer if a chemical reaction wants to be classified as a reaction between a Bronsted acid and base.
