Chapter 6: Q22DQ (page 1401)

An atom in its ground level absorbs a photon with energy equal to the K absorption edge. Does absorbing this photon ionize this atom? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Yes, absorbing this photon ionize this atom.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of atom

The term atom may be defined as the smallest tiny particle of the matter which can鈥檛 be further divided.

02

Explain the reason

The lowest energy level in the atom is K-shell. If energy of the photon is equal to the K absorption edge means that is has required energy to knock any electron in this atom out of it.

Hence, yes, absorbing this photon ionize this atom
