Neither. Helium doesn't form compounds and is neither an electron donor nor an electron acceptor.
No. Helium doesn't form compounds and is neither an electron donor nor an electron acceptor.
Since it is a metal it is an electron donor.
Donor atoms are atoms that donate electrons and have an extra pair of electrons in their orbital. Acceptor atoms are atoms that accept electrons and have a empty orbital to accommodate the extra electrons.
The answer is acids.... "acids are most broadly defined as compounds that are electron pair acceptors."
Hydrogen, depending upon what element it is combining with, can act either as a metal or a nonmetal. But as a nonmetal it shares electrons in the form of covalent bonds, rather than actually donating them. Similarly, carbon can react with metals or nonmetals but forms covalent bonds. To truly donate or accept electrons is to form ionic bonds, and no element has the flexibility to form ionic bonds both as a donor and as an acceptor. Elements can do one or the other, if they form ionic bonds. Some elements only form covalent bonds.

Potassium is electron donor
Zinc is an electron donor; by giving away two electrons, it becomes Zn2+.
Donor atoms are atoms that donate electrons and have an extra pair of electrons in their orbital. Acceptor atoms are atoms that accept electrons and have a empty orbital to accommodate the extra electrons.
acid: electron pair acceptor Base: electron pair donor
An electron transport chain (ETC) couples a reaction between an electron donor (such as NADH) and an electron acceptor (such as O2

Its not independent of the nature of donor and acceptor atoms.Its dependent on the nature of donor and acceptor atoms.............
Generally, the transfer of an electron from one atom to another is known as an Ionic bond. The electron giving up its electron is the 'donor,' while the receiving electron is the 'acceptor.'
A proton donor is a molecule that donates it's protons to other molecules.
BH3 is electron pair acceptor
