← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when electrons at deep energy levels experience electron capture?
A)Inner orbital vacancies refill promptly
B)Auger electron emissions becomes prevalent
C)Bremsstrahlung radiation increases intensely
D)Characteristic X-ray generation escalates✓
💡 Explanation
Characteristic X-ray radiation will escalate as inner orbital electron vacancies are filled because electron capture creates excited ions relaxing via photon emission; therefore, X-rays become more prevalent, rather than Auger electrons which typically dominate at lower atomic numbers.
