Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

A Lewis acid is an element or compound that has space in the last orbital to accept a pair of electrons.

For example Me3B (trimethylborane)

A Lewis base is an element or compound capable of donating a pair of electrons.

For example NH3 (ammonia)
