The photoelectron spectrum for the element nitrogen is represented above. Which of the following best explains how the spectrum is consistent with the electron shell model of the ato
f the atom?
A. The leftmost peak represents the valence electrons.
B. The two peaks at the right represent a total of three electrons.
C. The electrons in the ls sublevel have the smallest binding energy
D. The electrons in the 2p sublevel have the smallest binding energy
2p level contains the electrons furthest from the nucleus in the case of Nitrogen thus it's much easier to disperse/remove the electrons from the shell due to low pull of nucleus energy.
