Abstract: Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $eq2$. Let $G$ be an algebraic group defined over $F$. An element $tinG(F)$ is called {�f real} if there exists $sinG(F)$ such that $st{s}^{-1}=t^{-1}$. A semisimple element $t$ in $G{L}_n(F),S{L}_n(F),O(q),SO(q),Sp(2n)$ and the groups of type $G_2$ over $F$ is real if and only if $t=a{u}_{1}a{u}_2$ where $a{u}_1^2=pm1=a{u}_2^2$ (ref. cite{st1,st2}). In this paper we extend this result to the semisimple elements in $Spin$ groups when $dim(V)equiv0,1,2imod4$.
