← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when excess energy excites molecular vibration in ozone?
A)Accelerated dissociation into molecular oxygen✓
B)Increased stability against UV radiation
C)Formation of stronger molecular bonds
D)Reduced reactivity with atmospheric pollutants
💡 Explanation
Excitation above a threshold promotes vibrational energy transfer, inducing bond breakage because the *Franck-Condon principle* favors transitions to dissociative states. Therefore, dissociation occurs, rather than stabilization because that would demand specific quantum control of vibronic modes.
