I know that EWG decrease electron density of the molecule and would increase its ability to accept more electorns. So we can say that it increases acidity of Lewis acids.

What about arrhenius acids and Bronsted Lowry acids?

Members don't see this ad.
 
I think electron withdrawing groups by default increase acidity because the acidic proton has its protons pulled away from it, so it is easier to dissociate.

All BL acids are lewis acids, but not all lewis acids are BL acids. I am not sure what you are asking about the second part..sorry
