a graph of ion intensity and serves as a record from which the molecular structure of the compounds being analyzed can be determined
a graph of ion intensity as a function of mass-to-charge ratio
a plot that shows the relative abundance of ions of various mass-to-charge ratios
A plot of the count of the number of ions against their mass/charge ratio. The output of a mass spectrometer.
A mass spectrum is an intensity vs. m/z (mass-to-charge ratio) plot representing a chemical analysis. Hence, the mass spectrum of a sample is a pattern representing the distribution of components (atoms or molecules) by mass (more correctly: mass-to-charge ratio) in a sample. It is usually acquired using an instrument called a mass spectrometer.
