when the definition of Bronsten-Lowry and Lewis are the same? when they are different? why? what are two examples?
For bases, the two definitions are equivalent such that all Lewis bases are Brønsted-Lowry bases and vice versa. However, it is possible to have a Lewis acid that is not a Brønsted-Lowry acid. This is because Lewis acids include molecules and cations that have a vacant valence orbital, regardless of whether they have a proton to donate. -Common examples of Lewis acids (that are not Brønsted-Lowry acids) are metal ions, such as Al3+ and Cu2+
explain how polar bond and acidity changes as go through same column (up toward down) and same row (left to right)
For binary acids of elements in the same group of the periodic table, the H−A bond strength decreases down the group, so acidity increases. For binary acids of elements in the same row of the periodic table, the polarity of the H−A bond increases from left to right (as the electronegativity of A increases), so acid strength increases.

how the strength of an acid can be determined by its polarity of bond?
The strength of an acid, HA, is often determined by the strength and polarity of the H−A bond. In general, a weaker and more polar bond leads to a stronger acid.

methyl red (pKa=5) appears red in its acidic form (HX) and yellow in its basic form (X−). This color change occurs gradually between pH=4 and pH=6. At any pH below 4, methyl red will appear red because there is significantly more HX than X− present. At pH=pKa=5, methyl red will be orange because there will be equal amounts of HX and X−. At any pH above 6, methyl red will appear yellow because there is significantly more X− than HX present. where X-is the base and HX is the acid
