Which substance accepts an electron pair?
A Lewis acid.
What kind of substance accepts an electron pair hydroxide ion alkali base acid?
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
Is Cl a Lewis acid or Lewis base?
Neither, it's a salt.
Definition of an acid not dependent of the solvent?
The most general definition of an acid relies on Lewis acid/base theory, which defines an acid as a substance (usually an atom on a substance) that can accept an electron pair from another group.For example, the proton H+ can accept a lone electron pair from OH- and is therefore an acid by the Lewis definition (it is also a Brønsted-Lowry acid as well). The hydrogens in the hydronium ion, H3O+ (a more accurate representation of the "lone" proton, which chemists often use only for convenience) are also Lewis acids by the same reasoning.Iron(III) chloride, FeCl3, is an example of a Lewis acid that does not fit under the Arrhenius or Brønsted-Lowry definitions - it can accept a lone pair from, say, a chloride ion. This is particularly useful in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions.
What is a substance that produces H plus ions in a water solution?
Such as substance is called an acid
Which substance accepts an electron pair?
A Lewis acid.
What is the difference between acid and Lewis acid?
An acid is the old term used back in the day to categorize that would release a free positively charged hydrogen atom when dissolved in water. A Lewis acid is a substance that will except an electron pair from a Lewis base, not limited to h2o as the solvent. Though every substance that fit the original definition of an acid is also a Lewis acid, not every Lewis acid is a traditional acid, like AlCl3 and BF3.
What is the definition of Lewis Acids and Bases?
A Lewis acid is therefore any substance, such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. In other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor. A Lewis base is any substance, such as the OH- ion, that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. A Lewis base is therefore an electron-pair donor.
What is a Lewis acid?
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair from a base. ---APEX--
What kind of substance accepts an electron pair hydroxide ion alkali base acid?
A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
Is HCl a lewis acid?
No it is not a Lewis Acid, H+ is!
Is Cl a Lewis acid or Lewis base?
Neither, it's a salt.
Is SO3 a Lewis base or Lewis acid?
I think it is acid, because there is a question that asks the acid site of SO3.
What identifies if a substance is acidic or basic?
Depends on if you are asking about Lewis acids and bases or Bronsted acids and bases. A Bronsted base is a proton acceptor A Bronsted acid is a proton donor A lewis base is a positive acceptor a lewis acid is a negative acceptor But I think you are looking for pH levels. A pH of 0-6.999 is acid and a pH of 7.001-14 is a base. An acid has more H+ in the solution.
What is a true Lewis acid?

What is true of a Lewis acid?
