What is mass spectrometry (MS)? 🤔

  • It's a super-cool science tool (sounds like a space gadget, right?) that breaks organic compounds into pieces.
  • Some of these pieces will become charged-up fragments called ions. Think of them as little puzzle pieces that used to fit together.
  • Using MS, we can find out about the functional groups (the unique parts of a molecule) and other bits and bobs that are present in a compound.

Breaking down the MS process

  • Fragmentation 🎇: Breaking up organic compounds into fragments (some are ions).
  • Mass Spectrum 📊: A graph where we record the molecular masses of these fragments. Kinda like a molecular puzzle map.
  • Fragmentation Pattern 🌈: The different peaks on a mass spectrum.
  • Molecular Ion Peak ⛰️: The king of peaks! This is the peak with the highest mass to charge ratio (m/z). Imagine it as the main puzzle piece because it corresponds to the original, or parent, compound.
