What type of acid was named for the discoverer of the covalent bond?
Lewis acids and bases A Lewis acid is a chemical species that contains an empty orbital which is capable of accepting an electron pair from a Lewis base to form a Lewis adduct. A Lewis base, then, is any species that has a filled orbital containing an electron pair which is not involved in bonding but may form a dative bond with a Lewis acid to form a Lewis adduct. For example, NH is a Lewis base, because it can donate its lone pair of electrons. MeB is a Lewis acid as it is capable of accepting a lone pair. In a Lewis adduct, the Lewis acid and base share an electron pair furnished by the Lewis base, forming a dative bond. In the context of a specific chemical reaction between NH and MeB, the lone pair from NH will form a dative bond with the empty orbital of MeB to form an adduct NH•BMe. The terminology refers to the contributions of Gilbert N. Lewis.
