No. Although all Bronsted-Lowry acids with H+ protons are also Lewis acids, Lewis acid classification is usually reserved for substances like CO2 and BF3 that don't have protons.

What ion do acidic compounds contain?

At least one H+ ion, called proton, and one anion which remains when the proton is donated to a base or to a water molecule: H3O+ (hydronium) is formed, lowering pH of the water.The above isn't actually wrong, though it's worth noting that that's actually a description of a particular type of acid (an Arrhenius or possibly Brønsted-Lowry acid). Lewis acids use a more general definition and are not required to contain any particular ion... any electron pair acceptor is a Lewis acid. (All Lewis acids are Brønsted acids, but not all Brønsted acids are Lewis acids.)


What do hydrochloric acid sulfuric acid nitric acid phosphoric acid have in common?

They are all strong acids and they dissociate ( at least the first proton ) completely in solution.


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 do all acids contain?

Acids contain the cation H+ (or COOH-) and an anion or radical.


What irons do all acids produce in aqueous solution?

In aqueous solution, all acids produce hydronium ions (H3O+). This is because when an acid dissociates in water, it donates a proton to a water molecule to form hydronium ions.

All acids ionise in water to give?

All Arrhenius acids ionize in water to give H+ ions. While Lewis acids are proton donors.


What accepts a hydrogen ion from another compound?

Why all molecules with protons are not acids?

Assuming the Brønsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases, an acid is a molecule that donates a proton. While all atoms -- and therefore all molecules -- contain protons, not all are capable of donating them. Those that cannot donate a proton are not considered an acid under this terminology.


Why is the Brønsted-Lowry definition of acids more general than the Arrhenius definition?

A Brønsted-Lowry base accepts H+ ions.

Name the proton donor species which react with Grignard Reagent to give alkanes?

Such species include water, alcohols and all the acids.


What are the common elements to all acid?

Acids typically contain hydrogen ions (H+). When acids dissolve in water, they release these hydrogen ions which can donate a proton in a chemical reaction. Acids also have a sour taste and can react with bases to form salts.
