The Curiosity rover found sulfur compounds in rocks and carbon in organic compounds like propane, butene, benzene, toluene and thiophene.
It detected methane, not in soil samples, but in the Martian atmosphere.
It did not discover helium in underground pockets. The hole it can drill is only 5 cm deep.
An ionization suppressor is an alkali metal capable of preventing ionization, which can be used in atomic spectroscopy to determine matter composition.
<h3>What is ionization?</h3>
Ionization refers to the phenomena capable of converting neutral atoms/molecules to electrically charged atoms/ions.
Ionization is a process by which radiation (e.g., alpha, beta, gamma rays) can pass energy to inert matter.
Some examples of ionization suppressors include salts of alkali metals (for example, potassium), which can be used in atomic spectroscopy to determine matter composition.
