← ScienceWhich outcome results when electron capture decreases orbital stability?
A)Increased inner-shell Auger electron emission✓
B)Decreased ionic lattice vibration modes
C)Stabilization via increased bandgap energy
D)Enhanced covalent bonding configuration length
💡 Explanation
Auger electron emission increases with inner-shell instability because vacancy formation triggers **relaxation**, populating holes that cascade and eject electrons in a radiationless transition; therefore Auger increases, rather than vibrational or bandgap changes.
