Introduction

  What Is Mass ?

A mass spectrometer is an instrument that measures the mass of microscopic particles such as molecules and atoms. We can identify a molecule and quantify the amount of target chemicals in mixtures from this information. Mass of natural materials and units of mass will be explained here.

• Mass of Materials
• Mass Number and Isotope
• Isotopic Abundance of Carbon Atoms
• Isotope Abundance Table
• Molecular Weight

  Types of Ions

Ionization produces positively- and negatively-charged atoms, mplecules, or fragments called ions. An overview of a mass spectrum will be provided and various types of ions will be introduced.

• Example of Mass Spectrum
• Base Peak
• Fragment Ion
• Isotope Peak
