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

Nitrogen shows 3 peaks in its photoelectron spectrum. These 3 peaks correspond to the binding energies of nitrogen's 1s, 2s, and 2p electrons. The relative heights of the 1s, 2s, and 2p peaks in the PES spectrum of nitrogen will be:

• 1, 1, 1

• 2, 2, 3

• 1, 1, 2

• 2, 2, 5

If the binding energy of an electron is between 0 - 10 eV, it can be assumed that the electron originated in:

• an s orbital

• a p orbital

• a core electron

• a valence orbital

Using the data in the two PES, what do you expect the binding energy of the 1s electrons in oxygen (atomic number 8) to be?

• 0 - 50 eV

• 50 - 400 eV

• 400 - 700 eV

• 700 - 1000 eV
