Which outcome follows thermally exciting molecular iodine (I₂)?

💡 Explanation

Thermally exciting I₂ provides energy for bond dissociation, overcoming the binding energy. Breaking the bonds generates more free iodine atoms. Iodine vapor is purple because of the absorption spectrum change; therefore correct answer A, rather than a change in any material properties.
