mass spectrometry

?
describe the term mass spectrometry
mass spectrometry is a form of molecular chemical analysis
1 of 5
describe the principle of mass spectrometry
1. form ions from sample
2. ions separated according to mass to charge ratio
3. ions detected
2 of 5
describe why mass spectrometry can be useful
mass spectrometry is useful as it can:

1.provide structural info
2.identify an unknown compound
3.determine the relative abundance of each isotope of an element
3 of 5
describe why a vacuum is used when conducting time of flight spectrometry
using apparatus under a vacuum excludes air and prevents the ions from colliding with air
