Which outcome occurs when a photon with energy matching the energy difference between molecular orbitals strikes molecule?

A)Excitation of electron to orbital
B)Nuclear fission due to resonance
C)Molecular bond breakage from vibration
D)Emission of multiple photons

💡 Explanation

When specific light strikes molecule, electron excitation occurs because photon energy matches difference an electron is promoted, abiding selection rules to anti-bonding orbital. an excited orbital results therefore the light doesn't directly initiate a nuclear fission vibrational.
