Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The distinguishing mass spectra for the given molecules have to be interpreted. .
Concept Introduction:
Mass spectroscopy: It is a form of spectroscopic technique which is used for the elucidation of the molecular formula and molecular weight of the compound, depending upon the mass of the molecule.
Molecular formula: It represents the types of atoms with their total number present in a given molecule.
Molecular ion peak
