New cards

Atomic mass

Weighted average

2
New cards

Mass number

Proton electron number

3
New cards

Relative mass

The mean mass of an atom/molecule of an element compared to 1/12th the mass of a 12 carbon atom

4
New cards

Electron impact

Shooting an electron at an isotope to knock of electrons to form a +1 ions

5
New cards

Electron spray

Adding a H+ ion to the isotope which increases mass and the charge

6
New cards

Acceleration of ions

All ions have same kinetic energy

7
New cards

Time of flight

Lighter ions travel faster

8
New cards

Detection

A current is produced when ions hit a negatively charged detection plate

More hits=bigger current
