Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given equation, a Lewis acid, Lewis base, and Lewis adduct are to be labelled.

Concept introduction:

A Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor, having an atom that lacks an octet. A Lewis base, on the other hand, is an electron-pair donor. The addition of two more different molecules gives adduct. A Lewis adduct form between Lewis acid and Lewis base.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
For the following Lewis Acids, circle the proton that is more acidic (more likely to be “lost” due to stability of the negatively charged conjugate base). Explain how you decided which proton is lost (aka which factors help stabilize the anionic / conjugate base form of the acid?
Decide which compound is the acid and which is the base, and draw the products of each proton transfer reaction. (see the Attachment )
Can somone explain what I'm looking at on a molecule that will determine how strong/weak of a base it is?
