Proton acceptor
Proton donor is a Bronsted-Lowry acid. Electron donor is a Lewis base, electron acceptor is a Lewis acid.

i'm not sure if this could help answer your question as a results of fact the previous reaction quite lots explains it....yet while i replaced into discovering different acid/base definitions I had to seem at it like this: -Lewis Acids & Bases contain quite lots each and every acid/base that exists (Lewis Acid: electron acceptor and Lewis base: electron donor) ie. steel ions like Li+ & Mg(2+) and BF3 are seen acids PLUS each and every of those that are secure in the Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry definitions -Arrhenius Acids & Bases are the main "selective" as a results of fact he constrained his definitions of acids and bases via how they react in the presence of H2O (Arrhenius Acid: H+/proton donor in H2O; Arrhenius Base: OH- donor in H2O) ...this leaves Bronsted-Lowry someplace in between the "all-encompassing Lewis acids/bases" and the "somewhat choosy Arrhenius acids/bases". observe Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry the two take care of H+/protons yet in uncomplicated terms Bronsted-Lowry is composed of H+ donors/acceptors in all stages, no longer in uncomplicated terms the aqueous area like the Arrhenius definition does.
