Answer 1

1. source of free electrons
2. acceleration of electrons
3. focusing of electrons
4. deceleration of electrons

Question 2

define thermionic emission

Answer 2

heating of the filament to the point that electrons boil off its surface (free electrons)

Question 3

what is the focusing cup typically made of

Answer 3

molybdenum

Question 4

what are the electrons doing when they slam into the anode

Answer 4

the electrons are decelerating

Question 5

Answer 7

number of protons in the nucleus

Question 8

how to find atomic mass

Answer 8

sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Question 9

electrons are held in their orbital shells by what

Answer 9

electron binding energy

Question 10

if the electron is closer to the nucleus its electron binding energy is what

Answer 10

EBE is stronger

Question 11

if the electron is farther from the nucleus its electron bind energy is

Answer 11

EBE is weaker

Question 12

the electron binding energy of an atom with a higher atomic number will be..

Answer 12

EBE will be stronger the higher the atomic number is
