A Lewis acid refers to any component that possesses the tendency to accept the non-bonding pairs of electrons and a Lewis base refers to any component, which donates pairs of electrons.

Thus, if the two components were to react, then the donation of electrons will lead to the generation of covalent bonds. Thus, the reaction between a Lewis base and a Lewis acid is probably be associated with an elevation in the covalent bonds.
