What framework does Marcus's theory provide for electron transfer?

  • Static and Stall

  • Thermodynamic and Kinetic

  • Positive and Negative

  • Inert and Reactive

Answer

Marcus theory provides a framework for electron transfer that combines thermodynamic and kinetic principles. It describes the rate of electron transfer as a function of the free energy difference between the donor and acceptor states, and the reorganization energy, which is the energy required to change the structures of the donor and acceptor states to accommodate the electron transfer.
