Relative elemental abundances of O, Ne, Na, Mg, Ar, and Ca are determined from detailed analysis of XUV spectra emitted by an impulsive flare. The electron density measured from three diagnostic line ratios is 2-3 x 10 to the 12th/cu cm. It was found that the relative abundances in the flare are similar to values obtained from or proposed for photospheric material. The ratios of O/Mg, Ne/Mg, and Ar/Mg are about four times higher in the impulsive flare than the values typically observed in the average corona. It is suggested that electric fields above the photosphere may be responsible for the order of magnitude variations between the abundances of the group of elements with high first ionization potentials (FIP) and the group with low FIP. 18 refs.
