What is auger effect?

When photons of sufficient energy are incident on a surface, an electron is ejected out from the core shell. The electron from the p-orbital or any other orbital of higher energy loses that much energy to fill up the gap created by the loss of this core electron. The energy lost by the p-orbital electron is absorbed by another electron in the same or higher shell, causing it to eject from the atom. This second atom is called the "Auger electron" and the effect is called Auger effect.


What region is an electron most likely to be found called?

Electron orbital


The probability map for an electron is called?

it's an orbital


What is the space occupied by the electrons called?

they are called electron shells or sometime orbits. there are 32 electron shells. this is also called the electric cloud in the modern atomic model.


The region outside the nucleus where an electron can most probably be found is?

The region outside the nucleus where electrons can most probably be found is called the Atomic Orbital. The Atomic Orbital is also known as the Electron Cloud.


What is penetration effect?

Electron in s-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in p-orbital and electron in p-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in d-orbital and so on. So,more energy is requried to remove electron from s-orbital than electron in p-orbital in spite of both having same principal quantum number. Similarly, p orbital will require more energy than d-orbital. this is called penetrating effect. it decreases in order s>p>d>f>... Note that Orbital should have same "n"


A particle that is negativity charged and found in a atomic orbital is called a?

Electron.


What are the region around the nucleus where the electrons are located called?

electron cloud


A three-dimensional region around a nucleus where an electron may be found is called an?

an orbital. there are two electrons in each orbital, and groups of orbitals make up shells


How many outer orbital electrons are found in Sodium?

All of 11 electrons in sodium are in different electron orbitals: 2 electrons are in 1s orbital, 2 in 2s, 6 in 2p and 1 in the 3s orbital. (This last one is the so-called valence electron)


What is the three dimensional region around a nucleus where an electron may be found?

The three dimensional region around the nucleus of an atom that indicates the probability of the location of an electron is called an orbital. Different orbitals exist in atoms depending on the number of electrons the atom possesses. The element hydrogen only has one orbital, whereas heavier elements such as radon have many.


What is the region around a nucleus where an electron might be found?

The place around the nucleus where an electron can be found is called the ORBITAL . Accordingly the place where the chances of finding an electron are the least is known as 'NODE' .
