Electron withdrawing groups decrease the reactivity of a molecule by pulling electron density away from the reacting center, making it less likely to participate in reactions. Electron donating groups increase reactivity by pushing electron density towards the reacting center, making it more likely to participate in reactions.
The molecule is an electron donating group.
Electron donating groups increase the electron density of a molecule, making it more reactive, while electron withdrawing groups decrease the electron density, making the molecule less reactive.
The methyl group in a molecule is electron donating.
Electron donating groups increase the electron density of a molecule, making it more reactive, while electron withdrawing groups decrease the electron density, making the molecule less reactive.
Electron withdrawing groups, like ketones, decrease the reactivity of organic compounds by pulling electron density away from the molecule, making it less likely to participate in chemical reactions.

The Hammet substituent constant shows the electron donating or accepting nature of the molecule as well as its chemical reactivity. It is often used in the QSAR study of drugs.
The presence of a phenyl group in a molecule increases its electron-withdrawing properties. This is because the phenyl group contains a delocalized pi-electron system, which can withdraw electrons from the rest of the molecule, making it more electron-deficient.
Alkyl groups are generally electron donating due to their inductive effect, where they push electron density towards the rest of the molecule. This is because alkyl groups are less electronegative than carbon and hydrogen, leading to a slight positive charge that can stabilize adjacent negative charges.
Assuming the groups are conjugated to the acid/base groups: An acid wants to lose a proton. When it loses a proton, you form an anion (or a neutral molecule, but when talking about electron donating/withdrawing groups, you assume there is a charge). The more stable the anion, the more easily the proton comes off, and the more acidic it is. A base is the opposite. A base gains a proton to become cationic. The more stable the cation, the more likely it is to pick up a proton, and the more basic it is. An electron withdrawing group can stabilize an anion (and thus make something more acidic) and an electron donating group can stabilze a cation (and make something more basic). The opposites also hold true: an electron donating group can destabilize an anion and make something less acidic, and vice versa for bases.
Some common electron-withdrawing groups include nitro (-NO2), carbonyl (e.g. -CO), cyano (-CN), and halogens (e.g. -F, -Cl, -Br, -I). These groups are able to pull electron density away from the rest of the molecule through inductive or resonance effects, making the molecule more electrophilic.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a total of 16 electrons. The molecule's reactivity is impacted by its electron count, as CO2 is a stable molecule due to its linear structure and the sharing of electrons between carbon and oxygen atoms. This stability makes it less reactive compared to other molecules with more available electrons for bonding.
