8.1.1 Define acids and bases according to the Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis theories
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor
A Bronsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor
A Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor
A Lewis base is an electron pair donor.
8.1.2 Deduce whether or not a species could act as a Bronsted-Lowry and/or a Lewis acid or base
All Bronsted-Lowry acids are Lewis acids
Not all Lewis acids are Bronsted-Lowry acids
The term Lewis acid is usually reserved for those species which can only be described by Lewis theory, that is those that do not release H+.
8.1.3 Deduce the formula of the conjugate acid (or base) of any Bronsted-Lowry base (or acid)
