    Lewis Acid model definition (for acids that contain H⁺ and bases that contain OH⁻) is wide than that of Bronsted-Lowry model.

    Explanation:

    According to Bronsted-Lowry model:

    Acids are proton donors (H⁺).

    Bases are proton acceptors (OH⁻).

    For acids that contain H⁺ (HCl) and bases that contain OH⁻ (NaOH).

    According to Lewis Acid Model:

    Acids are electron pair acceptors.

    Bases are electron pair donors.

    It is widely used for define acids and bases:

    BF₃ + NH₃ → BF₃-NH₃.

    BF₃ is acid that is electron acceptor which accept electrons from NH₃ (electron donor).
