Chapter 22, Problem 22.24P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

What the mass spectrum of ${\text{Si}}_{\text{2}}$ will look like form the given information has to be predicted.

Concept and introduction:

Mass Spectrometer:

• Mass spectrometer is very useful technique to separate out the atoms in the chemical elements quickly and efficiently.
• The main process involved in this technique is the desired atoms are separated by passing them at first through an electric filed and then followed by magnetic field and finally results registered out into a spectrum.
• The mass spectrum can be achieved by taking $m/z$ values on X-axis and relative abundance values on Y-axis.
