Mass Spectrometry Feeling chil-laxing! 1 Mass Spectrometry (MS) A Mass Spectrometry
(MS)
is the study of the interaction between matter and an energy source other than electromagnetic radiation. Mass spectrometry is used primarily to determine the molecular weight and molecular formula of a compound (David Klein, Organic Chemistry. 2
nd
ed) Electron Impact Ionization
, This technique involves bombarding a sample molecule with a high energy electron (70 eV, 6,694.4 kJ/mol) to break the molecule into fragment. The masses per charge (
m/z
) of each fragment is measured and the information is used to reconstruct the structure of the molecule. Mass Spectrometer

Bromine has two naturally occuring isotopes, Br-79 and Br-81, approximately 50% of each. Bromomethane will contain approximately 50% Br-79 and 50% Br-81. The mass spectrum peak for methane containing Br-79 will be referred to as the M+ (molecular ion) peak, and the peak for Br-81 will be called the M+2 peak, as Br-81 weighs two more amu than Br-79.
What will be the locations of the two bromomethane peaks on the mass spectrum and what will be the approximate ratio of their heights?
