The resonance phenomena caused by the excitation of the surface and volume plasmons in the metal and ionized atomic clusters are studied in the framework of hydrodynamic and kinetic approaches with the inclusion of radiative, collisional, and kinetic (collisionless) damping mechanisms. The resonances of dipole moment at the frequencies of the volume plasmons are found to be strongly damped by the collision-induced losses, while the field amplitude at the central region of the cluster may exhibit large increase at the resonance of both kind of plasmons.
