Question 1

What occurs during ionization of the sample in Mass Spectrometry?

  • A sample is vaporized
  • An electron is removed from the molecule
  • Both A and B

💡 Hint: Consider the two primary actions happening here.

Question 2

True or False: The base peak represents the molecular ion.

  • True
  • False

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A mass spectrometer provides a spectrum with a molecular ion peak at 200 m/z followed by a base peak at 100 m/z. Assuming the base peak represents a common fragment, what might this suggest about the molecular structure?

💡 Hint: Think about how structure influences fragment stability.

Question 2

If a mass spectrum shows an M+2 peak at one-third the height of the M+ peak, what element might be suspected in the compound?

💡 Hint: Recall the ratio of isotopes for common halogens.
