What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?

In the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, bases donate pairs of electrons and acids accept pairs of electrons.

A Lewis acid is therefore any substance, such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. In other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor.

A Lewis base is any substance, such as the OH- ion, that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. A Lewis base is therefore an electron-pair donor.

The Lewis theory suggests that acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms.

What impact did the Spanish have on the region of South America?
vichka [17]

Answer:

The Spaniards practically went to war with the native Americans in South America, such as the Inca. They also brought diseases to South America. Diseases like smallpox.

Explanation:

Then after effectively killing off most of the native American population the Spanish continued to use South America for resources and they enslaved most of what was left of the non-Spanish and mixed populations. Francisco Pizarro took a page from Cortes' book, capturing Atahualpa, Emperor of the Inca, in 1532 and Cortes was the conquistador who defeated the Aztec Empire in what is now modern day Mexico or Central America.
