Scientific paper

Intensities of extreme-ultraviolet emission lines formed in quiet sun regions, a coronal hole, an active region, and a prominence are used to derive chemical abundances of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen relative to silicon in each region. For each element the relative abundance in each region agrees to within the estimated errors in the analysis. This means that the relative abundances are constant over a wide range of electron densities, emission measures, turbulent mass motions, and heights above the limb. Uncertainties in the atomic data appear to be the primary source of scatter in the derived abundances.
