Question

How many types of ions are formed in mass spectrometry

Answer 1

Types of Ions Observed in Mass Spectrometry

• [AB]+° - radical molecular ion. Formed by loss of an electron.
• [AB]+ - molecular cation. Formed by oxidation (for metal complexes for example).
• [A]+ - cation. Formed be cation/anion separation from salts.
• [AB]+H+ - protonated molecule. Sometimes termed 'Self CI'. ...
• A+, B+ - fragment ions
