6. How are ions accelerated?

  • + ions attracted to - plates; pass through slits between plates
  • Pushed by electricity
  • Shot by the electron gun
  • Propelled by kinetic energy

7. Why does the sample need to be ionized?

  • So particles can be accelerated and deflected
  • So particles can be made lighter
  • So particles can only be accelerated
  • So particles can only be deflected

8. How are the ions detected?

  • Radiograph
  • Negatively charged plate
  • Scientist determines the resulsts
  • Analysis machine

9. What does the mass spectrometery machine do?

  • Analyses element samples
  • Interprets graphs
  • Analyses wavelengths
  • Interprets vibrations

10. What state must the sample be in?

  • Liquid
  • Gaseous
  • Solid
  • Aqueous

11. What is the rule of thumb about ion movement?

  • Move in a straight line unless a force is applied
  • Gradually become slower over distances
  • Will continually spread out
  • Able to take bends

12. A current is produced when the ion hits the plate. The more hits the..?

  • Stronger the line on graph
  • More lines are drawn
  • Bigger the current
  • Clearer the results

13. What affects how the ions will be deflected

  • Just the charge
  • Mass to charge ratio
  • Just the mass
  • The number of type of that ion
