Which bond weakening occurs when UV photons strike ozone?

A)Antibonding orbital occupancy increases substantially
B)Hydrogen bonding begins in clustered molecules
C)Resonance structures become equally stable
D)Ionic character enhances molecular stability

💡 Explanation

UV striking zone causes **photoexcitation**. This excites electrons into antibonding orbitals, reducing the net bonding order; therefore, the bond weakens, destabilizing ozone, rather than increased stabilization via resonance due different molecular arrangements.
