Consider the following statements as they apply to mass spectrometry. Decide if each is true or false.
When a technique such as electron ionization is used, the fragmentation pattern obtained for a compound is predictable and characteristic of that compound.
Though a gas chromatograph (GC) is a common way to introduce a sample into a mass spectrometer, a liquid chromatograph (LC) is never used for this purpose.
A mass spectrometer is an instrument that produces ions and separates them according to their mass to charge ratios, m/z.
It is possible to get a mass spectrum of large analytes like polymers and biomolecules because of the development of ionization techniques such as MALDI and FAB.
The monoisotopic mass of an ion is the mass calculated by summing up the integer masses of the most abundant isotopes.
