Question

Which type of wave can break the chemical bonds in DNA and cause cancer?

Group of answer choices

ultraviolet

visible light

infrared

radio wave

Definition Definition Connection between particles in a compound. Chemical bonds are the forces that hold the particles of a compound together. The stability of a chemical compound greatly depends on the nature and strength of the chemical bonding present in it. As the strength of the chemical bonding increases the stability of the compound also increases.
