Analytical techniques

Question 1

*

fragmentation

Answer 1

process in mass spectrometry that causes a positive ion to be split into two fragments

Question 2

M+1 peak

Answer 2

peak in the mass spectrum that is caused by the presence of the C13 isotope in the molecule

Question 3

molecular ion peak

Answer 3

the ion with the greatest m/z value is the molecular ion, used to determine molecular mass of a compound

Question 4

mass spectrometry

Answer 4

used to identify compounds and determine relative molecular mass

Question 5

infrared spectrometry

Answer 5

used to identify particular bonds and functional groups within a molecule
