Re: Lewis vs. Bronsted
Hi there!
Lewis acids: ELECTRON acceptors
Lewis bases: ELECTRON donors
Bronsted acids: PROTON donors
Bronsted based: PROTON acceptors
Lewis acids are more general, so all Bronsted acids/bases are Lewis acids/bases, but not all Lewis acids/bases are Bronsted acids/bases.
Hope this helps! :)
