Which outcome occurs when a molecule absorbs ultraviolet photons?

💡 Explanation

When a molecule absorbs UV photons, the molecule undergoes photoexcitation. This process causes electrons to jump to higher energy orbitals because the energy of the photon matches the energy gap; therefore, orbitals hybridize, rather than leading to other outcomes.
