Question 1
A sample of a gas results in a PES spectrum with two distinct peaks, one at 10 eV and another at 25 eV binding energy. Identify the likely electron subshells responsible for each peak and describe any implications for the atomic structure.
💡 Hint: Think about which electrons are typically found further from the nucleus.
Question 2
