Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectoscopy (NMR)
Type of Spectrometry Used to Determine the Molecular Weight of an Organic Compound
Mass Spectrometry
Type of Spectrometry Used to Determine the Molecular Formula of an Organic Compound
Mass Spectrometry
eV
electron volts
m/z
mass to charge ratio
Diff. b/w Spectrometry vs. Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy techniques use electromagnetic radiation as the energy source.
In mass spectrometry, the energy source is a beam of electrons.
