Proton acceptor
|
|
|
Proton donor
|
|
|
Electron acceptor
|

|
Both a and c
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In the Brønsted–Lowry definition of acids and bases, an acid is a proton (H⁺) donor, and a base is a proton acceptor. When a Brønsted–Lowry acid loses a proton, a conjugate base is formed. Similarly, when a Brønsted–Lowry base gains a proton, a conjugate acid is formed.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to this definition, an acid is an electron pair acceptor and a base is an electron pair donor. Therefore, a Lewis acid can be defined as a chemical entity that can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base to form a coordinate covalent bond with it.
Detailed explanation-3: -A base is a substance that donates an unshared pair of electrons to a recipient species with which the electrons can be shared.
