Which consequence results when a laser excites valence electrons?

A)Molecular orbitals gain vibrational energy
B)Band gaps in solids increase
C)Heat flow becomes unidirectional
D)Atomic nuclei undergo fission events

💡 Explanation

When a laser excites valence electrons, the antibonding orbitals become populated; therefore, the molecule vibrations intensify because the bond order is lowered via destabilized bonds rather than heat generated only through electron-phonon interactions within the solid.
