A lewis acid-base reaction is the formation of one or more covalent bonds between an electro -pair donor and an electron pair acceptor.

Define a Lewis base

A lewis base is an atom, ion or molecule that donates an electron pair to form a covalent bond.

A polyprotic acid is an acid that can donate more than one proton. Example Sulfuric Acid.

What is a salt?

A salt is an ionic compound composed of a cation from a base and anion from an acid.

Define strong acids

A strong acid is one that ionizes completely in a aqueous solution.

Which ion do both of these reactions produce?

Hydronium ions

Define neutralization.

In aqueous solutions, neutralization is the reaction of hydroronium ions and hydroxide ions to form water molecules.
