← ScienceWhich outcome results during the inelastic collision of buckyballs with electrons?
A)Buckyball bond vibration mode activation✓
B)Electron achieves total kinetic absorption
C)Buckyball becomes superconductive instantly
D)Electron exhibits stimulated Raman scattering
💡 Explanation
The electron transfers energy to the buckyball causing vibrational excitation via electron-phonon coupling; this is Inelastic scattering. Therefore, the buckyball bonds vibrate in new modes rather than superconduction since superconduction needs near 0 temperatures.
