Which effect occurs when an organic molecule absorbs infrared radiation matching a vibrational mode's frequency?

💡 Explanation

When infrared radiation matches a molecular vibration frequency, resonance occurs because the molecule absorbs the energy, exciting a specific vibrational mode, leading to bond stretching or bending. Therefore, bond excitation results, rather than increased rotation, electron emission, or fluorescence which involve other energy transfer mechanisms.
