Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Mass spectroscopy provides a reliable molecular weight for an unknown compound and also gives us the information about the molecular formula as well. Fragmentation gives the resonance-stabilized cations whenever possible. Loss of a small molecule is usually indicated by a fragment peak with having an even mass number corresponding to loss of an even mass number. Fragmentation produces the most stable carbocation and radicals when occurs in
