D. a compound can only be separated into its components by chemical means
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Yes, A substance can be a lewis acid without being a Bronsted-Lowery acid because there are some substances which cannot donate protons(Bronsted-Lowery acid) but can accept a pair of electron.
<u><em>For Example:</em></u>
Let us take the example of BF₃
BF₃ contains no proton so it is not a Bronsted Lowery Acid
However, BF₃ has an incomplete octet with 6 electrons. It needs an electron pair to complete its octet. It accepts a pair of electron to become a Lewis Acid
Redox reaction is the reduction and oxidation reaction. It is a chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons. It can mean loss of oxygen (oxidation) or gain of electrons (reduction). Oxydation is the process of where a sustance loses electrons, gains an oxygen atom/s, loses a hydrogen atom/s. reduction is the opposite.
In a redox reaction, one of the reactants must release electrons.
