Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Whether
Concept introduction: A Lewis acid plays the role of an electron-pair acceptor, from another electron-rich species. This occurs because the central atom has mostly sextet of electrons, so it tends to complete it octet and attain stability. A Lewis base donates electrons to another electron-deficient species.
For instance, Lewis acids have electron deficient central atom
The objective of electron transfer from Lewis bases to acid is formation of new covalent bond.

The structure of phenol is a benzene ring with an -OH replacing a hydrogen atom on one of its six carbon atoms. Because phenol has this -OH group, you might think that the -OH would ionize and make phenol a base. Actually, the O-H bond is very weak and phenol acts as an acid by ionizing the H* ion.
