Lesson: Lewis Acids and Bases Chemistry • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to explain what Lewis acids and bases are, along with their characteristic properties, and identify them in chemical reactions.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

define a Lewis acid and base and compare the difference between them,
compare and explain the difference between a Lewis acid/base and a Brønsted–Lowry acid/base,
illustrate Lewis acids or bases through Lewis structures,
identify Lewis acids and bases in chemical reactions,
Identify chemical species that can act as both Lewis acids and bases.
