Which outcome affects Rydberg atom spectra when approaching ionization?

💡 Explanation

The energy levels overlap and hybridize because highly-excited Rydberg atoms exhibit electron orbitals with diminishing energy spacing during photoionization, leading to strong mixing via configuration intearction; therefore spectra become complex rather than exhibiting sharp lines typically seen.
