Mass spectrometer

This video provides an overview of molecules, their mass, and the types of chemical reactions.

What is the initial step in analyzing molecules in mass spectrometry?

• Determining their mass

• Measuring their charge

• Passing them through a magnetic field

• Converting them to ions

What happens to molecules after they are converted into ions?

• They are weighed

• They are passed through electric and magnetic fields

• They are heated

• They are dissolved in a solution

How are ions deflected in mass spectrometry?

• By their size

• By their speed

• By their charge to mass ratio

• By their color

What is the purpose of passing ions through electric and magnetic fields?

• To deflect them for analysis

• To change their color

• To increase their speed

• To cool them down

What can be analyzed after ions are deflected?

• Their color

• Their volume

• Their charge to mass ratio

• Their temperature
