A substance capable of accepting an electron pair
A compound which can act as an electron pair acceptor.
An electron pair acceptor. Metals often serve as Lewis acids in catalysis by accepting an electron pair from a substrate (to form a coordinate bond), thereby polarizing the electron density of the substrate.
a compound or atom that can accept a pair of electrons and a Lewis base is one that can donate an electron pair
a molecule which can accept an electron pair from a Lewis base to form a covalent bond
an electron acceptor, while a Lewis base is an electron donor
an electron acceptor, whilea Lewis base is an electron donor
an electron pair acceptor and a base is an electron pair donator
a substance that can accept a pair of electrons to form a new bond, and a Lewis base is a substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a new bond
Any species that can accept a share in an electron pair.
In chemistry, a Lewis acid, named after the American chemist Gilbert Lewis, can accept a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond. The Lewis acid and Lewis base theory is one of several acid-base reaction theories, therefore the term acid is ambiguous; it should always be clarified as being a Lewis acid or a Brønsted-Lowry acid.
