		Definition of Lewis acid in English: Lewis acidnoun Chemistry A compound or ionic species which can accept an electron pair from a donor compound.  Example sentencesExamples -  In simple additions, the carbonyl compounds can behave as both Lewis acids and Lewis bases depending on what reagents are present.
 -  Like the Brönsted superacids, Lewis superacids are simply very strong Lewis acids.
 -  In this electrophilic aromatic substitution, the first electrophile is the Lewis acid that accepts the halogen from an alkyl halide (the nucleophile).
 -  In a coordinate covalent bond, both electrons are donated by the Logan, a Lewis base, to the metal atom, a Lewis acid.
 -  A Lewis acid, such as aluminum chloride, is often the catalyst used for this reaction.
