Which outcome results when an organic molecule undergoes photoisomerization?

A)Altered potential energy surface
B)Increased vibrational spectroscopy resolution
C)Decreased molecular dipole moment
D)Enhanced thermal decomposition pathways

💡 Explanation

Photoisomerization alters the molecule's geometry; this uses the Franck-Condon principle. leading to an altered potential energy surface; because different isomers have different minimum energy configurations, therefore the potential surface changes, rather than other molecular properties that would change.
