Lewis acidity

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006546",
  "term": "Lewis acidity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The ability of a chemical species to accept an electron pair from another molecule or ion, forming a coordinate covalent bond. This property is quantified by the stability of the Lewis adduct formed. Stronger Lewis acids readily accept electron pairs, leading to more stable adducts.",
  "subject": "Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry",
