Students have asked these similar questions
Which one is the incorrect statement regarding mass spectrum?
The structure likely contains a bromine atom if the (M+2)+ peak and (M)** are
almost similar in heights
The relative heights of (M)** peak and (M+1)** peak indicate the number of
carbon atoms
A signal at M-15 indicates the loss of a methyl group and a signal at M-29
indicates the loss of an ethyl group
In case of alcohols, a signal at m/z = 18 is produced due to the loss of neutral
H₂O molecule (Dehydration)
The structure likely contains a chlorine atom if the (M+2)** peak is
approximately one-third as tall as (M)*•
For each compound, assign likely structures to the fragments at each m/z value, and explain how each fragment is formed.a. C6H5CH2CH2OH: peaks at m/z = 104, 91b. CH2 = C(CH3)CH2CH2OH: peaks at m/z = 71, 68, 41, 31
Which compound gives a molecular ion at m/z = 122: CgHsCH2CH2CH3, CgHsCOCH2CH3, or CHsOCH,CH3?
