lewis acid or lewis base? then draw the product.

H3C^+ :NH3 ---->



I'm assuming H3C is the acid and :NH3 is the base? As for drawing out the product I don't know what to do.
Answered by Mayra
Are you sure that it is H3C?
Answered by Maura
H3C+ yes that's what the problem says
Answered by Devron
Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors (CH3+), and Lewis bases are electron pair donors (NH4).
Answered by Maura
