2,3-Dimethylbutane and 2,2-dimethylbutane have the same molecular ion in the mass spectrum, but only one of these isomers gives a significant fragment at m/z = 57. (a) Which isomer shows an intense peak at m/z = 57? (b) Propose a structure for the ion that gives rise to this peak. (c) The base peak in the mass spectrum of the other isomer occurs at m/z = 43. What ion gives rise to this peak?
