Concept Introduction:
Mass spectroscopy: It is a form of spectroscopic technique which is used for the elucidation of the molecular formula and molecular weight of the compound, depending upon the mass of the molecule.
Molecular formula: It represents the types of atoms with their total number present in a given molecule.
Molecular ion peak
Base peak: It is the tallest peak in the spectrum.
