All Bronsted bases are Lewis bases? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A Bronsted base is that which can accept proton. While accepting a proton the Bronsted base donate a lone pair of electrons to proton.
Eg: `H_(3)N:+H^(+)toH_(3)N:toH`
A lewis base is that which can donate a lone pair of electrons. So all Bronsted bases can also act as Lewis bases.
