the reaction of a lewis acid with a lewis base would most likely be accompanied by an increase in which item?\no covalent bonds\no hydronium ions\no electron pairs\no hydroxide ions
Answer
Brief Explanations:
A Lewis acid - base reaction involves the donation of an electron - pair from the Lewis base to the Lewis acid, forming a coordinate covalent bond. This results in an increase in covalent bonds. Hydronium ions are related to Arrhenius or Brønsted - Lowry acid - base concepts, not Lewis acid - base reactions. Electron pairs are transferred but the formation of a new bond (covalent) is the more appropriate description here. Hydroxide ions are also related to other acid - base concepts, not Lewis acid - base reactions.
Answer:
covalent bonds
