Interpretation:
The fragmentation mechanisms for the observation of strong peak at
Concept introduction:
The EI mass spectrum is one of the types of mass spectrum in which an organic compound is vaporized and is analyzed by the bombardment with high energy electrons. When high energy passes by the molecule, it ejects an electron. The molecule results in the formation of the radical cation. This radical cation is then fragmented into small pieces. The rate of fragmentation depends upon the stability of the radical cation.
