Proton acceptor

[VZX]

With multiple lone pairs present in a molecule by looking at the lewis structure, how do you determine which ones can accept a proton and which ones don't?

Hello! I could be wrong, but I think any lone pair has the ability to accept a proton.

[Samidha Menon 1E]

I agree, I believe that all lone pairs can accept a proton too.

[davis sandberg 2H]

All lone pairs can accept an electron.

[HaleyC 2F]

The lone pairs can all accept electrons.

[Macy_Anderson_2F]

An exception is h2o where the oxygen has two lone pairs, because the size of the oxygen is too small to accept more than one proton.

[Hana Aflatooni]

Any lone pair can accept a proton

[Stephanie Trinh 1F]

The lone pairs in the lewis structure should all be able to accept a proton!

[bernal_maria1A]

Lone pairs in a lewis structure be able able to accept protons and electrons!

[Chris Korban 1D]

lone pairs in a Lewis Structure are able to accept that proton. When accepting the proton it is considered a Bronsted Base

[Anisa Morales 1L]

They all accept protons.

[LouiseLin2L]

I think any lone pair are capable of accepting a proton.

[405825570]

They can all accept protons.

Hello!
I believe that all lone pairs in a molecule can accept a proton! I attached a visual below! I hope this helps!
