occur in elements 3 through 14. Lithium in a solid form can undergo this while the gas phase will normally not. Changes in the distribution of x-rays from the atom may occur if the replacement is from the same shell, which is the special case of Coster-Kronig transistions.

For ten points identify this effect where the replacing of a core electron can lead to the ejection of an electron.
