Question

To test satellites for durability, NASA simulates exposure to solar radiation using low energy x-rays. The two x-rays used have energies of 1.10 X 10^-17 J and 3.04 X 10^-16 J each (per photon).

E2 The most strongly bound electron anywhere in these three elements is in Fluorine, with an ionization energy of 85,000 kJ/mol. Will this electron be removed by either of the x-rays?
