For each of the following sentences, choose one of the options enclosed in square brackets to make a correct statement
An electron bound to a molecule with low affinity for electrons is a [high/low]-energy electron. Transfer of an electron from a molecule with low affinity to one with higher affinity has a [positive/negative] ?G° and is thus [favorable/unfavorable] under standard conditions. If the reduced form of a redox pair is a strong electron donor with a [high/low] affinity for electrons, it is easily oxidized; the oxidized member of such a redox pair is a [weak/strong] electron acceptor.
