Study Notes

Mass Spectrometer Components

The components of a mass spectrometer include an ion source, analyzer, and detector.

Function of Mass Spectrometer

A mass spectrometer is used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions.

Mass Spectrum

The base peak in a mass spectrum is the peak with the highest intensity.

The Nitrogen Rule

The nitrogen rule is used to determine the presence of an odd or even number of nitrogen atoms in a molecule.

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

The purpose of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is to separate and identify the components of a mixture based on their mass-to-charge ratio.
