In atomic absorption spectrophophometry, the term "nebulization" implies: (a) the breaking down of fine mist of liquid droplets into smaller particles (b) creation of fine suspension of liquid (or solid) particles in a gas (c) the use of hotter flames to atomize high-boiling, refractory elements (d) all of the above

Non metal is an element or substance that is not a metal metal is a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivitymetalloid is an element (e.g., germanium or silicon) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals. they are electrical semiconductors.
