Which outcome occurs when resonant infrared radiation impinges an organic molecule?

A)Increased molecular rotational excitation occurs
B)Accelerated nuclear fusion is initiated
C)Valence electron count becomes unstable
D)Intermolecular London dispersion forces weaken

💡 Explanation

Molecular vibrational modes selectively absorb infrared radiation due to quantized energy levels; energy transfer via **Absorption Spectroscopy** results in excitation, because molecules resonate at specific frequencies, therefore rotational and vibrational excitation happen, rather than electronic transitions or nuclear changes since they occur in other radiation conditions.
