Which effect happens when high energy photons strike fullerene C60?

A)Breaking of conjugated double bonds
B)Increased van der Waals attraction
C)Increased bulk superconductivity onset
D)Decreased rotational kinetic energy

💡 Explanation

Photons breaking conjugated double bonds cause C60 molecules to fragment because the photon energy overcomes the bond energy in disruption. Therefore the conjugated bonds will be broken by photoexcitation, rather than increased attraction or affecting superconducitivity because the photon wavelengths aren't in thermal regions.
