This study guide covers Photoelectron Spectroscopy (PES) for AP Chemistry. It reviews atomic structure, including protons, neutrons, electrons, and electron configuration. It explains the quantum-mechanical model, properties of light, and the photoelectric effect. The guide details how PES works, how to interpret PES spectra (including axes, peaks, and binding energy), and connects the concepts to electron configurations. Finally, it provides practice MCQs and an FRQ example from the 2019 AP exam, along with key takeaways and exam tips.
