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.
Is H2O a Lewis acid or base?
Being amphoteric water can react both: Lewis acid and Lewis base.
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 a true Lewis acid?
A Lewis acid accepts electron pairs.

Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor.

How does nitric acid act as a base?
Acids or bases change character based on the solution in which they exist. For instance, HCl is a strong acid in water, but is a weak acid when dissolved in glacial acetic acid. This has to do with the proton affinity of the respective acids and bases. So, nitric acid may act as a base when placed in a solvent that has a lower proton affinity, i.e., the nitric acid will accept the proton as a Bronsted-Lowry base. I'm not as familiar with Lewis acids and bases, but Lewis bases donate electron pairs, and Lewis acids accept them. I'm sure there is a circumstance in which nitric acid will donate an electron pair to a Lewis acid.
What happens in a Lewis acid-base reaction?
An acid accepts an electron pair from a base.
Is SO2 a Lewis acid?
Yes, SO2 can act as a Lewis acid because it is electron-deficient and can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base.
Is H20 a strong acid?
Not necessarily. You are thinking about a Brønsted-Lowry acid. However acids can be classified under Arrhenius and Lewis classifications as well, with the latter being the most comprehensive. A Lewis acid is a chemical compound that can accept a pair of electrons. Therefore a strong acid may not have to transfer H+ ions to water although many do. A chemical example is AlCl3.
Is Cl a Lewis acid or Lewis base?
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.
