Match the following with their correct definition:
Lewis acid = Contains an empty orbital capable of accepting an electron pair from a Lewis base Lewis base = Any species that has a filled orbital containing an electron pair which is not involved in bonding but may form a dative bond with a Lewis acid Dative bond = Formed when a Lewis acid and base share an electron pair furnished by the Lewis base Nucleophile = Emphasizes the kinetic aspect of reactivity, interchangeable with Lewis base
