The donor is the one who loses the electron. Donor is the elctron carrier.

∙ 12y agoA molecule (or atom) that receives an electron is said to be reduced. That is because an electron has a negative charge, so in algebraic terms, the charge is less, if you add a negative.

What is the final electron acceptor of the ETC?
In cellular respiration, the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain is half of a diatomic oxygen molecule. This molecule is then reduced when it gains two low-energy electrons attached to two hydrogens, making a molecule of water as a by-product of cellular respiration.
What is molecular ion?
When an atom loses or gains an electron, it forms an ion. Similarly if a molecule also lose or gain an electron it forms a molecular ion ,e.g CH4+ CO+ etc.
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
A molecule that gives up an electron becomes what?
Oxidized.Oxidation involves a loss of electrons.The answer above in a general context is wrong I'm afraid - If an atom loses an electron it becomes an ion and the same if it gains one - and electrically charged particle.
What happen when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
chlorine is a group seven element with outmost energy level lacking only one electron, thus is not stable. when it gains this electron, it gets an octet electron structure(8 e in the vallency shell) this makes it very stable in the enviroment; the reason why chlorine molecule exists due to its stable atoms but chlorine atom does not exist in nature
When a molecule gains an electron it has been what?
This is a reduction reaction.
Why are ions made?
Ions are made for clothes can not be wrinkly An ion is formed when an atom [or molecule] gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom or molecule gains an electron it acquires negative charge. If the atom or molecule loses an electron it becomes positively charged.
How does hydronium ion form?
when a water molecule gains an hydrogen ion from another water molecule

What produces a negatively charged ion?
An atom or molecule that gains an extra electron becomes a negatively charged ion. This can occur through various processes such as electron gain in chemical reactions or by gaining electrons from the environment.
What has a positive charge if it loses an electron but has a negative charge if it gains an electron?
Any solid, liquid, gas, atom, molecule, object, or space that started out electrically neutral.
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
How does an atom becomes Negatively charged?
An atom becomes negatively charged when it receives an electron from another atom. In other words, if there are more electrons than protons in an atom, it becomes negatively charged.
When a molecule of nad plus gains a hydrogen atom to become nadh does the molecule become phosphorylated or oxidized or reduced or redoxed?
When NAD+ becomes NADH gaining that hydrogen it also gains an electron(s), which is its actual job. So, it becomes reduced.
What is molecular ion?
When an atom loses or gains an electron, it forms an ion. Similarly if a molecule also lose or gain an electron it forms a molecular ion ,e.g CH4+ CO+ etc.
What is the charge on the chlorine atom in the molecule hcl?
Chlorine gains an electron and becomes negative 1 charge. Hydrogen donates an electron so becomes positive 1 charge.
How is electron affinity from electronegative?
Electronegativity is the measure of pull one atom has on another. Electron affinity is the amount of energy that is released when a neutral atom gains an electron.
