We're being asked to determine if each statement would be true or false.
Let's check each given statement:
(A) all Lewis acids are Bronsted acids
Recall the definitions of Lewis and Bronsted acids:
• Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor.
• Bronsted-Lowry acid → proton (H+) donor
Some characteristics of a Lewis acid:
