  2. Flame test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_test

    The characteristic bluish-green color of the flame is due to the copper. A flame test is relatively quick test for the presence of some elements in a sample. The technique is archaic and of questionable reliability, but once was a component of qualitative inorganic analysis. The phenomenon is related to pyrotechnics and atomic emission ...

  3. Atomic emission spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_emission_spectroscopy

    Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) is a method of chemical analysis that uses the intensity of light emitted from a flame, plasma, arc, or spark at a particular wavelength to determine the quantity of an element in a sample.

  4. Photoelectric flame photometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_flame_photometer

    It is also known as flame emission spectroscopy. [1] [2] A photoelectric flame photometer is an instrument used in inorganic chemical analysis to determine the concentration of certain metal ions, among them sodium, potassium, lithium, and calcium. [3] Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 2 (alkaline earth metals) are quite sensitive to flame ...

  5. Emission spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum

    An emission spectrum is formed when an excited gas is viewed directly through a spectroscope. Schematic diagram of spontaneous emission. Emission spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique which examines the wavelengths of photons emitted by atoms or molecules during their transition from an excited state to a lower energy state.

  6. Elemental analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental_analysis

    Optical atomic spectroscopy includes flame atomic absorption, graphite furnace atomic absorption, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, which probe the outer electronic structure of atoms. Neutron activation analysis involves the activation of a sample matrix through the process of neutron capture. The resulting ...

  7. Atomic spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spectroscopy

    In physics, atomic spectroscopy is the study of the electromagnetic radiation absorbed and emitted by atoms. Since unique elements have unique emission spectra, atomic spectroscopy is applied for determination of elemental compositions. It can be divided by atomization source or by the type of spectroscopy used.

  8. Direct-current plasma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-current_plasma

    Direct-current plasma (DCP) is a type of plasma source used for atomic emission spectroscopy that utilizes three electrodes to produce a plasma stream. [1] The most common three-electrode DCP apparatus consists of two graphite anode blocks and a tungsten cathode block arranged in an inverted-Y arrangement.

  9. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductively_coupled_plasma...

    It is a type of emission spectroscopy that uses the inductively coupled plasma to produce excited atoms and ions that emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths characteristic of a particular element. [1] The plasma is a high temperature source of ionised source gas (often argon).
