spec allows us to
infer
the relative
mass
of a molecule
The 4 stages are:
ionisation
acceleration
ion
drift
detection
Ionisation
is where electrons are removed from atoms or molecules, creating
positive
ions.
Acceleration is when the ions are accelerated by an
electric field
towards the
detector.
Drift
is where the ions travel through a
vacuum
tube at high speed.
molecular ion peak
= mass of compound
