Answer
Marcus also provided a new theory for electron transfer, which is based on the concept of electron tunneling. In this theory, the electron transfer is considered to be a quantum mechanical tunneling process. The rate of electron transfer is determined by the energy barrier between the donor and acceptor molecules, as well as the distance between the two molecules.
