When an organic molecule is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation, the energy absorbed by the molecule corresponds to the amount necessary to excite electrons from one molecular orbital to another.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ultraviolet radiation has enough energy to excite electrons in an organic molecule from a lower energy molecular orbital to a higher energy molecular orbital, which is a fundamental process in photochemistry and UV spectroscopy.
