  1. The reductant and oxidant are labile.

  2. It is faster than inner sphere mechanism.

  3. Both species form bridge intermediate complex.

  4. The reducant and oxidant in transition state remain intact.

  5. None of these

D Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct because the electrons transfer from reductant to oxidant in outer sphere mechanism, the reductant and oxidant in the transition state remain intact
