NaF is a Lewis base.
the F- ion has electron pairs that it can donate for bonding.
No, NaF and NaOH do not form a buffer solution together as a buffer solution requires a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid. NaF is the salt of a weak acid (hydrofluoric acid) and a strong base (NaOH), so it does not act as a buffer. NaOH is a strong base and cannot act as a buffer solution by itself.
The conjugate acid of NaF is HF (hydrofluoric acid). When NaF accepts a proton, it forms HF.
An acid accepts an electron pair from a base.
CH3OH is a Lewis base.
No, Na+ is neutral and F- is very weakly basic, not acidic.

An acid accepts an electron pair from a base.
CH3OH is a Lewis base.
Br can act as a Lewis base by donating its lone pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with a Lewis acid.
No, Na+ is neutral and F- is very weakly basic, not acidic.
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.
Lewis acid is an electron acceptor / Lewis base is an electron donor. It is helpful to use this definition of acid and base in (1) organic chemistry (2) also when there are no Hydrogens present in the molecule. BF3 is a Lewis acid it seeks out and can accept electrons.
Hydrazine can act as both a Lewis base and a Lewis acid. As a Lewis base, it can donate a lone pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with a Lewis acid. As a Lewis acid, it can accept a lone pair of electrons from a Lewis base to form a coordinate covalent bond.
PMe3 is a Lewis base(elctron donor).
Cl can act as both a Lewis acid and a Lewis base depending on the reaction it is involved in. As a Lewis acid, Cl can accept an electron pair and form a coordinate covalent bond. As a Lewis base, Cl can donate an electron pair to form a bond.
