- 2. Multiple Choice
Refer to the photoelectron spectrum of neon shown below to answer the question.
Which of the following statements best accounts for peak A being to the left of peaks B and C?
The electron configuration of neon is 1s2 2s2 2p6.
Neon has 8 electrons located in its valence shell.
Core electrons of an atom experience a much higher effective nuclear charge than valence electrons
Peaks B and C show first ionisation energies in neon, whereas peak A shows the second ionisation energy of neon
- 3. Multiple Choice
Refer to the photoelectron spectrum of neon shown below to answer the question.
Which of the following statements best accounts for peak C being three time the height of peak B?
The intensity of the photoelectron signal at a given energy is a measure of the number of electrons in that energy level.
Electrons represented by peak B have approximately triple the binding energy than those represented by peak C
In a photoelectron spectrum, as binding energy increases the relative number of electrons decreases.
The height of peaks in a photoelectron spectrum does not have any relation to the structure of the atom
