Lewis Acids, Lewis Bases & Lewis Acid/Base Complexes

The Lewis acid and Lewis base concept organises and 'explains' the majority of reaction chemistry that school and university students are expected to be familiar with. Lewis acid/base reaction chemistry concerns: electron pair donors, electron pair acceptors, anions, cations, lone-pairs, ligands, spectator ions, HOMOs, LUMOs, nucleophiles, nucleofuges, electrophiles, electrofuges, electrophilic & nucleophilic substitution, acid & base catalysed eliminations, Brønsted acidity, proton abstracting bases, adducts, complexes, Diels-Alder cycloaddition, curly arrows, and more more more. No other reaction chemistry is so broad, varied, or central to how we think about and understand chemical reactivity.

As someone who does/did well in organic chemistry(up to stereoselectivity).. It makes me sad to say that I never really understood the fundamentals of it. as a result, everytime I did an Organic course, it felt 'new' to me, because I would have to 'remember' how things work.

You make this very simple, concise and you answer Why things this works. Understanding the basics will make it very easy to come up with answers as oppose to remembering them.

Thank you for your efforts.

homo..lol, but this is great, helps me with my organic chem

Explaining chem like a BOSS! Thank you so much!
