This process can help explain why nonmetallic oxides form solutions with low pH in water. In this theory, an adduct is created when the highest occupied molecular orbital of a molecule donates lone pairs of electrons to the other molecule's lowest unoccupied molecular orbital through a co-ordinate covalent bond.  The donating molecule is defined as a base, and the accepting molecule is an acid.  FTP, name the acid-base theory based on the exchange of electron pairs, the most broad class of acid-base definitions.          |
