Problem:We need to know abundance of all ions of particular element to reallyknow its abundance - not always possiblesome lines are weak need to use big telescopeFor more distant objects (e.g. galaxies), this becomes even more of aproblem!some lines are unobservable ionization corrections (theoretical)
