How many electrons are in nitrogen atoms? 7 electrons How many peaks do you observe in the PES for nitrogen? 3 peaks What is the approximate binding energy of the lowest energy electron(s) in nitrogen? 40 MJ/mol Based on the height of the peaks in the PES, how many electrons in nitrogen have this binding energy? 7 electrons What is the approximate binding energy of the highest energy electron(s) in nitrogen? 40 MJ/mol Based on the height of the peaks in the PES, how many electrons in nitrogen have this binding energy? 3 electrons

Now let's analyze the PES for nitrogen: How many electrons are in nitrogen atoms? electrons How many peaks do you observe in the PES for nitrogen? peaks What is the approximate binding energy of the lowest energy electron(s) in nitrogen? MJ/mol Based on the height of the peaks in the PES, how many electrons in nitrogen have this binding energy? electrons What is the approximate binding energy of the highest energy electron(s) in nitrogen? MJ/mol Based on the height of the peaks in the PES, how many electrons in nitrogen have this binding energy? electrons Check the number of electrons with the lowest energy. What are the relative heights of the three peaks? Remember that the height of the peaks are directly proportional to the number of electrons with each binding energy and that nitrogen has 7 electrons total
