Understand the Bronsted-Lowry definition: Bronsted-Lowry acids are substances that donate protons (H⁺ ions), while Bronsted-Lowry bases are substances that accept protons.
Understand the Lewis definition: Lewis acids are substances that accept electron pairs, while Lewis bases are substances that donate electron pairs.
Compare the two definitions: Bronsted-Lowry focuses on the transfer of protons, whereas Lewis focuses on the transfer of electron pairs.
Identify the correct statement: Bronsted-Lowry acids donate protons, while Lewis acids accept electron pairs.
Recognize the incorrect statements: Bronsted-Lowry bases do not donate protons; they accept them. Lewis bases do not accept electron pairs; they donate them.
