Explain why the following chemical equation represents a Lewis acid-base reaction. H+ + NH3 —>NH4+

Respuesta :

Answer:

Due to an electron-pair acceptor and donor.

Explanations:

Lewis acid can be defined as an electron-pair acceptor. An example is Hydrogen ion(H+). This is because it is a proton and it distributes positive charge which means that it accepts electrons(negative charge).

Lewis base can be defined as an electron-pair donor. This is because it donates electrons to be accepted by the proton. An example is ammonia(NH3).
