← ScienceWhich risk significantly increases when internal molecular vibration reaches anharmonicity?
A)Reduced chemical bond dissociation energy✓
B)Increased kinetic rate constant stability
C)Enhanced vibrational mode degeneracy removal
D)Increased molecular polarization anisotropy
💡 Explanation
When molecular vibrations become anharmonic, Hooke's law no longer holds in the potential well, because it becomes asymmetric. Therefore, bond dissociation energy decreases, rather than kinetic stability, due to weakened average bond strength.
