(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Very Hard of Chemistry

Consider an experiment in which a beam of electrons collides with a target of elemental atoms. During the interaction, the electrons are accelerated and then decelerated, emitting photons with specific energies. Observing the emitted photons allows identifying the elements present in the target. Based on the characteristic X-ray spectrum of an element, which is determined by the transition of electrons from higher energy levels to the K level (n = 1), and considering the knowledge about the electronic structure of atoms, develop an argument that justifies how the location of an element in the periodic table is related to the energy values associated with the electronic transitions observed in the X-ray spectrum.
