Q

what is Mass spectrometry?

A

Mass spectrometry is a technique that can be used to determine the specific identity and amount of atoms or molecules in a sample of material. In particular it can determine the isotopic composition of an element.

Q

what is atomic absorption spectroscopy?

A

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is a modified version of absorption spectroscopy that can also be used to perform qualitative analysis to find the amount of an element present.
