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 happens in a Lewis acid base reaction?
In a Lewis acid-base reaction, a Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor) reacts with a Lewis base (electron pair donor) to form a coordination complex. The Lewis acid accepts electron pairs from the Lewis base, resulting in the formation of a coordinate covalent bond between the two species.
Is SF6 a Lewis acid or base?
Sf6 acts as an lewis acid............
Is AlCl3 Lewis acid or Lewis base?
Aluminium trichloride is a salt. It is considered an acid after Lewis theory.
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 is the difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid?
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.
