Answer:

Lewis acid is a substance that donates a lone-pair of electrons.

Explanation:

What is said in the statement corresponds to a Lewis base, not an acid. For example, NH3 is a Lewis base, since it is capable of donating its pair of electrons. Trimethylborane (Me3B) is a Lewis acid, since it is capable of accepting a solitary pair.

Answer : The incorrect statement is, Lewis acid is a substance that donates a lone-pair of electrons.

Explanation :

According to the Arrhenius theory, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion $(H_3O^+)$ or hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion $(OH^-)$ .

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

According to the Lewis acid-base theory, an acid is a substance that accepts pairs of electrons and the a base is a substance that donates pairs of electrons.

The pH of an acid is always less than 7.

Hence, the incorrect statement is, Lewis acid is a substance that donates a lone-pair of electrons.

Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful

BARSIC [14]

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,
