← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when ultraviolet photons initiate photolysis?
A)Radical chain reaction progresses rapidly✓
B)Intermolecular forces temporarily increase
C)Hydrogen-bond structures are stabilized
D)Metallic bonds immediately start forming
💡 Explanation
Photolysis by UV light leads to homolytic cleavage of bonds, creating radicals; because unbonded electrons seek stability from available electrons, a radical chain reaction accelerates to achieve stability through electron pairing. Therefore, rapid radicalization proceeds, rather than any other bonding modification.
