Which outcome occurs when high-energy radiation strikes a molecular cloud?

💡 Explanation

Molecular dissociation increases because the radiation provides energy exceeding the molecular bond energies; therefore, bonds break rapidly, rather than ionization decreasing because that requires very specific wavelengths and conditions.
