Answer:

HClO2 is the Lewis Acid and the ClO2- is the Lewis Base in the first pair

NH3 is the Lewis Base and the NH4+ is the Lewis Acid in the second pair.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Lewis Base is an electron donor so there are extra pairs of electrons.

A Lewis Acid is an electron receiver so they are electron deficient.
