← ScienceWhich effect occurs when an organic molecule absorbs infrared radiation matching a vibrational mode's frequency?
A)Increased molecular rotational energy
B)Resonance leading to bond excitation✓
C)Photoelectric emission of electrons
D)Fluorescence emission at a shorter wavelength
💡 Explanation
When infrared radiation matches a molecular vibration frequency, resonance occurs because the molecule absorbs the energy, exciting a specific vibrational mode, leading to bond stretching or bending. Therefore, bond excitation results, rather than increased rotation, electron emission, or fluorescence which involve other energy transfer mechanisms.
