The complete photoelectron spectrum for the element chlorine

The complete photoelectron spectrum for the element chlorine is represented below Peak X in the spectrum corresponds to the binding energy of electrons in a certain orbital of chlorine atoms The electrons ini this orbital of chlorine have a binding energy of 272 MJ mol while the electrons in the same orbital of sulfur atoms have a binding energy of 239 MJ mol Relative Number of Electrons 1000 X 100 10 Binding Energy MJ mol 0 1 a Identify the orbital and explain the difference between the binding energies in terms of Coulombic forces b Peak Y corresponds to the electrons in certain orbitals of chlorine atoms On the spectrum shown carefully draw the peak that would correspond to the electrons in the same orbitals of sulfur atoms
