What kind of substance accepts electron pair?

As the definition of a Lewis acid says:"Capable of accepting electron pair (from a (Lewis) base".So H+ and Ag+ are both Lewis acids compared in the following reaction with ammonia:(in which the N-atom is donating the unbound electron pair as being a 'Lewis' base)H+ + NH3 --> HNH3+Ag+ + 2NH3 --> Ag(NH3)2+[As you can see the 'Lewis' definition is much wider than the 'Bronsted/Lowry': it needs free places for an electron pair, not H+]
