C7: ELECTRONS INTERACTIONS WITH MATTER

Excitation

the movement of an electron to a higher energy state

Excitation

Interacts in the outermost shell

Excitation

Scheming occurs which caused the electron excitation or vibration

heat

Excitation produces:

Excitation

Interaction where electrons acquire energy from a passing charged particle but are not removed completely from their atom

Ionization

Incident electron to the inner shell 

Ionization

Produces characteristic x-rays and ion pairs

Ionization

Complete removal of an electron from an atom following the transfer of energy from a passing charged particle

Ionization

The physical process in which an incident photon ejects one or more electrons from an atom, ion or molecule

Bremsen

breaking/slowing down

Strahlung

radiation

Bremsstrahlung

Incident electron interacts twitho the innermost part of the nuclear force field

Bremsstrahlung

The nucleus’ strong electrostatic (Coulomb) field slows the electron.

x-ray photon

product of bremsstrahlung

ELECTRON INTERACTIONS WITH MATTER

Refers to X-ray machines

EXCITATION

Scheming occurs which caused the electron excitation or vibration

Bremsstrahlung

also known as x-ray

production

Bremsstrahlung and x-ray are the same, but differs in the __

ion pair

It is the ejected electron and the orbital electron from which it was separated.
