Question

Which one is the incorrect statement regarding mass spectrum?

options:

	The (M)^+• peak may be weak or entirely absent if it is particularly susceptible to fragmentation.
	The tallest peak in a mass spectrum is assigned a relative value of 100% and is called the base peak which always represent molecular ion, (M)^+•
	According to nitrogen rule, an odd molecular weight indicates an odd number of nitrogen atoms, while an even molecular weight indicates either the absence of nitrogen or an even number of nitrogen atoms
	Mass spectrum shows the relative abundance of each cation detected
	The (M)^+• peak indicates the molecular weight of the molecule
