The table shows partial PES data for element Q.
Binding energy (MJ mol⁻¹) Relative peak height (arbitrary units)
0.40 2
1.20 2
10.2 6
Which set of electrons is most likely to be involved when element Q undergoes chemical reactions?
(a) The electrons represented by the 10.2 MJ mol⁻¹ peak
(b) All three peaks represent electrons equally likely to be involved
(c) The electrons represented by the 0.40 MJ mol⁻¹ peak
(d) The electrons represented by the 1.20 MJ mol⁻¹ peak
