5. Which of the following best explains the relative positioning and intensity of the 2s peaks in the following
spectra?
(A) Be has a
greater nuclear charge than Li and more electrons in the 2s orbital
(B) Be electrons experience greater electron-electron repulsions than Li electrons
(C) Li has a greater pull from the nucleus on the 2s electrons, so they are harder to remove
(D) Li has greater electron shielding by the 1s orbital, so the 2s electrons are easier to remove
