This means that the molecule has a greater tendency to donate electrons, the key to the conversion of light energy to chemical energy.

Because nucleophiles donate electrons, they fit the definition of Lewis bases.

This drives the water splitting catalyst to donate electrons to the photosensitizer.

An electron donor is a chemical entity that donates electrons to another compound.

The opposite of electronegativity is electropositivity: a measure of an element's ability to donate electrons.

Because nucleophiles donate electrons, they are by definition Lewis bases.

Uranium complexes bound in this manner have unusual characteristics and can donate two, four or six electrons when reacted.

Elements with low electronegativity, such as most metals, easily donate electrons and oxidize - they are reducing agents.

Certain impurities in graphite actually donate more mobile electrons, which sometimes make it lighter still.

In traditional bonding models the driving force is the ability of alkyl groups to donate electrons to the newly formed free radical carbon.
