Preferred Label : local fraction atomized;
Detailed label : local fraction atomized in flame emission and absorption spectrometry, χa, βa;
IUPAC definition : The substance fraction of the atomized component in the total volatilized component.
This quantity is measured in a defined part of the flame, usually the observation
space. The fraction atomized is the result of chemical reactions in the gaseous state.
It depends on the bond strength of the compounds that the component may form within
the flame and on the composition and temperature of the flame. When analysing elements
that tend to become oxidized in the flame, it may be advisable to use as fuel gas
mixtures with a reducing component such as C sub 2 /sub H sub 2 /sub or N sub 2 /sub
O .;
