Question

All Bronsted acids are not Lewis acids. Explain.

✓

Answer

Bronsted acids can donate $\mathrm{H}^{+}$easily but they may not be able to donate electrons e.g. $\mathrm{HCl}_{,} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ $\mathrm{HNO}_3$. Therefore, all Bronsted acids are not Lewis acids. They can not accept electrons.
