Which outcome occurs when a core electron transitions between orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Auger electron emission occurs because the core electron transition leaves a vacancy; therefore, this vacancy is filled by another electron dropping to a lower energy level causing release of energy rather than an alternative radiative decay.
