A Lewis acid is a molecule that accepts an electron pair, whereas a Lewis base is a molecule that donates an electron pair.
The implications of this definition are much wider than more traditional definitions.
For instance,
ammonia is a Lewis acid and boron trifluoride is a Lewis base in this example.
