Question

When a vacancy exists in an inner electron shell of an atom (as a result of photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, or bombardment by other electrons), the energy liberated when this vacancy is filled, instead of emerging from the atom as fluorescent radiation, can be transferred to another electron of the atom, thereby ejecting the electron. Such an emitted electron is called a(n) _____ electron

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "Auger".

Explanation:

The Auger effect is an effect size when the vacancy of even an atom throughout the inner shell was complemented by the release of even an electron from the same atom. Whenever a central electron is lost, a higher energy level electron can drop into the void and release energy, which can be the result.
