Is NADH a better electron donor than H2? Is NAD+ a better electron acceptor than 2 H+? How can you determine this?
Solution
Yes NADH is a better electron donor than H2 because the nitrogen atom has a lone pair of which it can distribute to stabilize the charge that is developing when the hydrogen is being pulled off. NAD+ is a better electron acceptor than 2 H+ because NAD+ has a high affinity to get converted to NADH
