Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The advantages of plasma sources over the flame sources for emission spectrometry needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Plasma sources spectroscopy a kind of mass spectrometry that detects metals as well as non-metals of low concentrations as one part in 1015 (part per quadrillion, ppq) on the low-background isotopes that involves plasma. Flame emission spectroscopy is a traditional method of spectroscopy. In this method, quantitative measurement of the optical emission obtained from the stimulated atoms are used to determine the concentration of an element that is to be analyzed.
