For the Lewis acid-base reaction:

**Chemical Structures:**
1. An enolate ion represented as:
   - A carbon chain with a double bond to oxygen, showcasing two lone pairs on the oxygen atom and a negative charge.
2. A methyl cation represented as:
   - A central carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, showcasing a positive charge.

**Section: Part 0 / 2**

**Part 1 of 2: Task Instructions**
