A substance can be identified as a Lewis acid if it accepts an electron pair, and as a Lewis base if it donates an electron pair. Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors, while Lewis bases are electron pair donors.
A pH indicator is commonly used to identify whether a substance is an acid or a base. Acids turn pH indicators red, orange, or yellow, while bases turn them green, blue, or purple. pH paper strips can also be used to determine the acidity or basicity of a substance based on the color change.
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.
A Lewis acid is not a specific type of subatomic particle like a proton, electron, or neutron. Instead, a Lewis acid is a substance that can accept an electron pair from a Lewis base during a chemical reaction, leading to the formation of a covalent bond.
True. The Lewis definition of an acid describes it as a substance that can accept an electron pair, while a base is a substance that donates an electron pair.
A universal indicator is commonly used to detect the presence of an acid or alkali. It changes color based on the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, helping to identify whether a substance is acidic, neutral, or alkaline.

A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair.
To determine whether a substance is an acid or a base, you look at it's pH. If it is over 7, it is a base. If it is below 7, it is an acid. If the pH is 7, the substance is neutral.

This is a pH indicator.

Yellow is not a definitive indicator of whether a substance is an acid or an alkali. The color of a substance is not directly related to its pH or acidity levels. pH testing is required to determine if a substance is acidic or alkaline.
