Photoelectron spectrum of unknown element X
Photoelectron spectrum of unknown element X
A student obtains the photoelectron spectrum of a gas-phase sample of an unknown element, \(\text{X}\). The relative area of each peak is proportional to the number of electrons in the corresponding subshell.

Which choice correctly identifies \(\text{X}\) and classifies the peaks at \(0.50\ \text{MJ/mol}\) and \(107\ \text{MJ/mol}\)?
