← ScienceWhich outcome during UV light exposure enhances reactivity?
A)Promotion of electrons to higher orbitals✓
B)Destabilization of the solvent cage
C)Formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds
D)Increase in the ground-state energy
💡 Explanation
UV light promotes electrons to higher-energy molecular orbitals, increasing reactivity because this electronic transition destabilizes existing bonds and allows new bond formation. Therefore, higher orbital occupancy rather than stabilized solvent interactions promotes reaction due to increased available energy.
