Dumb question, just starting to learn about mass spectometry. I know we have to memorize the common radical fragments, M-15, M-29, etc, but lloking at the example, those numbers dont crrespond to the absorbance or the m/z, so for example, M-29.

Dumb question, just starting to learn about mass spectometry. I know we have to memorize the common radical fragments, M-15, M-29, etc, but lloking at the example, those numbers dont crrespond to the absorbance or the m/z, so for example, M-29. The absorbance for M-29 is at 100 , while the m/z is at 43. How is it designated to be M-29?
