Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Electron Configuration

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

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
