1. In a photoelectron spectroscopy experiment Ar is ionised, i.e. an electron
is removed from one of the single electron orbitals into the vacuum. An
Ar+ ion remains behind. Write down all possible electron configurations
and corresponding terms of the resulting Ar+ ion (assuming that the photon
energy is high enough to allow ionisation of any single electron orbital).
So my question is what is a single electron orbital? Seeing that it's Ar which is a noble gas it can't be an orbit with a single electron. Help clearing out the definition would be much appreciated :)
