State
The three theories nest by generality: every Arrhenius pair is Brønsted-Lowry, every Brønsted-Lowry pair is Lewis, but broader theories classify reactions the narrower ones cannot.
Show
BF3 accepting ammonia's electron pair is Lewis chemistry with no Brønsted-Lowry or Arrhenius description available.
Watch for
No theory here is "the correct" one; each fits the scope of reaction it was built to describe.
