Question 105

An atom is neutral at first. The atom then emits electromagnetic radiation. Later, some outer electrons are removed from the atom, and it is left with an overall relative charge of +2.

An electron has relative mass 11840\displaystyle \frac{1}{1840}18401​ and relative charge -1.

a.

Explain whether the emission of electromagnetic radiation changes the number of electrons in the atom.

[2]
b.
