Photoelectron Spectrum

That's really cool too. Chemistry toys are fun.
Photoelectron spectrum – inject x-rays. Photoelectrons ejected have an energy equal to initial energy of x-ray minus how much energy it takes to get them out of molecule. Spectrum is formed with different kinetic energies. Can match to the energies of the molecular orbitals in the molecule. That’s fun too!

Sorry. I get a wee bit geeked out during chemistry. But it's all so cool and fun and I get it!!!
