Study Notes

Atomic Absorption and Emission Spectroscopy

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) measures light absorption by ground state metal atoms in the gaseous state
Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) measures light emission by excited state metal atoms in the gaseous state
AAS can analyze atoms and ions of metals for qualitative and quantitative analysis of over 70 elements
AAS is widely used for metal analysis
AES can't analyze elements highlighted in white on the periodic table
UV radiation ranges from 180-380 nm, visible radiation ranges from 380-780 nm
Interaction of UV-visible radiation with metals causes changes in electron distribution of valence electrons
AAS measures absorption, AES measures emission, and AFS measures fluorescence
The type of transition involved is electronic, where valence electrons are promoted to higher energy levels and then decay to intermediate or ground state level (emission)
