What is the definition of a Lewis acid? A. A Lewis acid accepts an electron pair from a base.
B. A Lewis acid donates a proton to the solution.
C. A Lewis acid accepts a hydroxide from the solution.
D. A Lewis acid donates an electron pair to a base.

A

Explanation:

Acid is the electron pair acceptors and Base is the electrons pair donors :))

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
