Questions 2: What is the principle that allows us to use a mass spectrometer to determine the intensity of a peak?* Higher molecular mass compounds are less volatile than lower molecular mass compounds. Cations of higher mass are deflected less by a magnetic field than cations of lower mass. Cations reaching the detector causes a current that is proportional to the size of these ion. O Larger çations takes longer to reach the detector. O All of these statements are correct.
