← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when UV radiation excites electrons?
A)Formation of new hybrid molecular orbitals✓
B)Increase in bond dissociation energy
C)Decrease in molecular vibrational frequency
D)Stabilization of ground state configurations
💡 Explanation
UV absorption causes electrons to jump to higher energy levels, promoting atomic mixing. The **hybridization** creates new molecular orbitals with different bonding characteristics, because more electrons can undergo interactions, rather than changes to vibrations or bond strength under these conditions therefore more orbital variety appears.
