← ScienceWhich consequence results when an Auger electron emission fills a core-level orbital vacancy?
A)Increased ionization of the material✓
B)Enhanced X-ray fluorescence yield
C)Decreased chemical bond strength
D)Reduced photoelectron kinetic energy
💡 Explanation
Auger emission causes further ionization, because the excited atom relaxes via the **Auger effect**, wherein an electron ejects another electron to fill the core hole, therefore more ions exist, rather than X-ray emission, without necessarily impacting the chemical bonds energies.
