Tutorial Questions On ICP PDF

This document contains 7 tutorial questions about inductively coupled plasma (ICP) techniques for multi-element analysis. The questions cover why ICP methods are better suited than flame atomic absorption, advantages and disadvantages of ICP-optical emission spectroscopy (OES), how plasma is formed in ICP, why ionization interferences are less severe in ICP, the purpose of argon flow in ICP tubes, the optimal height for spectral observations above the ICP coil, and atomization techniques of hydride generation and cold vapor for atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and their selectivity.
