Lewis acids and bases

[Bailey Herbert 2L]

Are Lewis acids and bases the only type of acids and bases that we are going to be tested on on the final exam? Or will there be a mix of types of acids and bases (ie. Bronsted Lowry)?

[Nathan Morgan 2C]

I cannot say with 100% certainty, but I would error on the side of caution and assume that we may see Bronsted Lowry acids and bases on the final as they were covered in the lectures :)

Bronsted Lowry is just another definition for acids and bases! Any Bronsted acid or base is a corresponding Lewis acid or base, respectfully. The definitions differ in that Bronsted acids donate H+ ions and Bronsted bases accept them, while Lewis acids accept lone pair electrons and Lewis bases donate them. Since all Bronsted acids and bases are Lewis acids and bases, you can expect to see them on the final.

I think we will be seeing all of them on the test due to the fact that he went over all of their definitions during Wednesday's lecture.
