Question
Fill in the blanks:
(a) The product of a reaction between a Lewis acid and a Lewis base is called ________.
(b) The bond between a Lewis acid and a Lewis base is called ________ or _______.
(c) Brnsted-Lowry acids and bases related by gain or loss of one proton are said to be ________.

Solution
Step 1 of 4
(a) The product of a reaction between a Lewis acid and a Lewis base is called an adduct.
In a Lewis acid-base reaction, a Lewis acid accepts a pair of electrons from a Lewis base, forming a covalent bond between the two species. The resulting compound, or adduct, has new chemical and physical properties that are different from the original acid and base.
Example:
\(\mathrm{BF}_{3}+\mathrm{NH}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{BF}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{4}\)
