MCQ
Identify the process in which an electron escapes from the metal surface.
  • A
    Electron emission
  • B
    Electron displacement
  • C
    Electron transgression
  • D
    Electron movement

Answer

  1. Electron emission

Explanation:

The process in which an electron escapes from the metal surface is known as electron emission. Electrons are loosely bound to the nucleus, and therefore, a little energy push sets these electrons flying out of their respective orbits.
