1. "i.e an electron is removed from one of the single electron orbitals into the vacuum."
I know what orbitals are but I don't know what constitutes single-electron orbitals. I first assumed it was simply an orbital which in a given configuration only had one electron but that had to be ruled out as the atom in question is a noble gas. I did a Course literature and Google search but I stand no wiser than before.
