"Lewis Star"

Megan Bonde

Song: "Lucky Star"

Artist: Madonna

You must be my Lewis Star
'Cause your acids from a far
I just think of you and start to go
I'll meet you tonight
And protons will flow

Chorus:
Acids, bases you share protons
Acids, bases proton transferring
Acids, bases they can share a pair
Acids, bases yeah

You must be my Bronsted Star
'Cause your bases receive protons from a far
When the protons lost and needs a guide
You just attach to it by your side

Chorus:
Acids, bases you share protons
Acids, bases proton transferring
Acids, bases they can share a pair
Acids, bases yeah

Come on acids react with those bases
Cause your oxidation numbers aren't changing
Come on acids react with those bases
You may be my Lewis Star
But I'm the luckiest atom by far.
