← ScienceWhich outcome arises when water's molecular structure absorbs infrared radiation?
A)Increased molecular vibrational energy✓
B)Decreased hydrogen bond network
C)Lowered surface tension globally
D)Enhanced water dissociation constant
💡 Explanation
Increased vibrational energy results because infrared photons match the molecule's vibrational modes, following the principle of resonant absorption. Therefore, the molecule gains kinetic energy, rather than disrupting hydrogen bonds or causing chemical changes because higher energy UV radiation is necessary.
