Acids and Bases
Brønsted–Lowry Acids and Bases • An acid is a proton donor • A base is a proton acceptor

conjugate acid
Every acid–base reaction involving proton transfer has two conjugate acid–base pairs.
Acids and Bases
Lewis Acids and Bases • A Lewis acid is an electron pair (think empty orbital) acceptor.
A Lewis base is an electron pair (think filled orbital) donor. The result of a Lewis acid–base reaction is often called an adduct.
