NADH
When a molecule of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide gains a hydrogen atom, it becomes NADH (reduced form of NAD+). NADH is a key molecule involved in carrying electrons during cellular respiration to generate ATP.
When a molecule of NAD+ gains a hydrogen atom to become NADH, the molecule is reduced. Reduction is the gain of electrons by a molecule, which is what occurs in this process. This is part of a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction where one molecule is reduced (NAD+) and the other molecule is oxidized (loses electrons).
Chlorine gains an electron and becomes negative 1 charge. Hydrogen donates an electron so becomes positive 1 charge.
When a hydrogen or molecule gains electrons, it undergoes reduction, leading to a more negative charge. This process can occur during chemical reactions, where hydrogen can act as an electron acceptor to form bonds with other atoms.
when a water molecule gains an hydrogen ion from another water molecule
When a molecule of NAD gains a hydrogen atom, it becomes reduced to form NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). This reduction reaction involves the transfer of electrons from the hydrogen atom to NAD, resulting in the formation of NADH.
This process is called phosphorylation.

A water molecule with an extra hydrogen atom is called a hydronium ion (H3O+). This ion is formed when a water molecule gains a proton, becoming positively charged.
It becomes the reduced form, NADH.
It becomes the reduced form, NADH.
It becomes the reduced form, NADH.
