Answer :

HCl : Bronsted-Lowry acid

: Lewis-acid

: Bronsted-Lowry base

: Lewis-base

Explanation :

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

HCl :

It is a Bronsted-Lowry acid that donates protons.

:

It is a Lewis-acid that accepts electron pairs.

:

It is a Bronsted-Lowry base that accepts protons.

:

It is a Lewis-base that donates electron pairs.

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
