Which outcome dominates when short wavelength radiation impinges on a liquid dielectric molecular film?

💡 Explanation

When short wavelength radiation strikes a dielectric, electronic excitation leads to bond scission because the high energy photons induce transitions to higher energy electronic states, potentially breaking molecular bonds. Therefore, bond scission dominates, rather than heating, polarization, or ejection that require lower incident energy or different target properties.
