← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a high-energy electron interacts with buckminsterfullerene?
A)Temporary cage ionization takes place✓
B)Van der Waals forces are disrupted
C)Significant plasmon resonance vanishes
D)Enhanced thermoelectric potential declines abruptly
💡 Explanation
Temporary cage ionization takes place because the high-energy electron impacts the fullerene, causing an electron within the cage to be ejected due to ionization. Therefore, the molecule accepts a positive charge, rather than other processes like structural change or plasmon alteration which require lower energies.
