A molecule which donates electron(s) to an other, is called a reductor or

reducing atom / molecule

Example:

2Fe --> 2Fe2+ + 4 e- reductor Fe

4 e- + O2 --> 2O2- oxidator O2

-------------------------------------------- +

2Fe + O2 --> 2FeO redox reaction, the corrosion of Iron by Oxygen (forming rust)

Is acid a proton donor or electron pair donor?

Acid is a proton donor. It donates a proton (H+) to another molecule to form a conjugate base. It is not an electron pair donor, which is characteristic of bases.

What is electron donor?

An electron donor is a substance that donates electrons to another substance during a chemical reaction, typically becoming oxidized in the process. In biological systems, molecules like NADH or FADH2 are electron donors that transfer electrons to the electron transport chain.
