bronsted acids/bases vs lewis

[andrea guzman 1F]

are lewis acids and bases the same as Bronsted acids and bases?

[Stephanie_manasyan]

Hi! Not necessarily the same, we classify Lewis acids/bases as being either electron donors/anions(bases) or electron acceptors/cations(acids). However, with Bronsted acids/bases, a bronsted base is a proton acceptor [OH-] and an acid is a proton donor [H3O+]. Hope this helps!

There are different, Lewis acid/bases use electrons however Bronsted uses protons. Lewis uses for acids they accept an electron and for base he donates a pair of electrons, Bronsted he donates a proton for his acids and for his baths he receives a proton.
