Question
A molecule absorbs a photon of light to form an excited state. How do the redox properties of the excited state compare to those of the ground state?
A.✓ Correct
The excited state is both a stronger oxidizing agent and a stronger reducing agent than the ground state.
B.
The excited state is both a weaker oxidizing agent and a weaker reducing agent than the ground state.
C.
The excited state is a stronger oxidizing agent but a weaker reducing agent than the ground state.
D.
The excited state is a weaker oxidizing agent but a stronger reducing agent than the ground state.
