Work Step by Step

High energy electrons are more likely to be transferred in a cell. High energy electrons are more likely to be transferred because they are naturally far away from the nucleus. The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is to be removed from the donor molecule. Scientists have not found that electrons in closer orbitals to the nucleus move faster.
