Spectrometer
step 1: Vapourtion, if sample is solid its vaporised by heating
step 2: ionisation, beam of electron from an electron gun knocks out electron from atom/molecules to form +ve charged ions
step 3: Acceleration, +ve ions attracted by -ve charged plates & accelerated at high speed. lighter ions reach first
step 4: Deflection, beam of ions move into magnetic field at right angle to it direction of tavel, magnetic field deflect it into an arc of circle. lighter ions defleted more
step 4: Detection, magnetic field gradually increased so ions of incresing mass enter, ions strike detector gain an electron & becomes -ve. computer works out it mass spectrum.
Equation
(% x mass) + (% x mass)
