A. Mass
B. Charge
C. Chemical environment
D. Volume
Answer:C
The kinetic energy of the photoelectron energies is dependent on _________ of the atom, which makes XPS useful to identify the oxide state.
A. Mass B. Charge C. Chemical environment D. Volume
Explanation: The kinetic energy of the photoelectron energies is dependent on chemical environment of the atom, which makes XPS useful to identify the oxide state. It also helps to identify the ligands of the atom.
