  • Mass spectrometer = a piece of apparatus that can be used to find out about molecules
  • It can:
    • identify an unknown compound
    • find the relative abundance on each isotope of an element
    • determine structural information about molecules
  • It measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions
  • To do this it:
    • causes substances to become positive ions
    • passes these positive ions through the apparatus
    • the apparatus separates the ions according to their…
