About this document
Energy Interactions in Chemistry by OCRChemistrySalters is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) When molecules absorb radiation, electrons can jump to higher energy levels. Different amounts of energy affect molecules in different ways, such as causing rotation or vibration. Higher energy radiation can cause electronic changes between levels. 2) Infrared radiation corresponds to the energy gap between vibrational levels, causing bonds to vibrate and be sensed as heat. Microwaves cause molecular rotation while higher energies are required for electronic changes using visible or ultraviolet radiatio
