(a)
Interpretation:
The structure for the product of each of the given Lewis acid-base association reactions is to be derived by using curved-arrow notation. The formal charge on each species is to be assigned. The Lewis acid and the Lewis base is to be labeled. The atom that donates electrons in each case is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Lewis acid-base association reaction involves the transfer of a proton from a base to an acid. Lewis acid accepts an electron pair and acts as an electrophile. Lewis base donates an electron pair and acts as a nucleophile.

Answer to Problem 3.1P
The Lewis acid and Lewis base are
Explanation of Solution
Lewis acids are electron donor, whereas Lewis bases are electron pair accepter. In water molecule oxygen consists of a lone pair. Thus, it will act a Lewis base and oxygen atom has tendnecy to donate its electrons. The
