Answer
Electron pairs are central to the Lewis model of acids and bases. This model defines an acid as a substance capable of accepting an electron pair and a base as a substance capable of donating an electron pair. Acids and bases undergo reactions known as acid-base reactions, which involve the transfer of electron pairs from the base to the acid.
