Identify water as acid or base according to lewis and bronsted concept?
Water is amphoteric i.e both acid and a baseExplanation:When two water molecules react, one of the water molecules acts as the Lewis acid and the other water molecule acts as the Lewis baseLewis acid = electron pair acceptor.Lewis base = electron pair donor.If you see the equation of 2 water molecules reacting H2O+H2O=⇒H3O++OH−So one water molecule donates the electron while other receives it indicating its amphoteric nature.
