Electron impact - correct answerSample vaporised and electron gun fires high energy electrons at it
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




which knock off 1 electron from each particle, making them 1+ ions
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




NB- can knock off more than one e or break molecular ion

electrospray ionization - correct answerSample dissolved in volatile solvent then injected through
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




needle to give fine mist which is attached to positive end of high voltage power supply, particles gain

NB- Mr of substance is actually one less than shown due to extra H+
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




Acceleration (TOF) - correct answerpositive ions accelerated using electric field so they all have the
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




same kinetic energy
II!l II!l II!l




Ion drift (TOF) - correct answerparticles with small mass have larger velocity do ions start to separate
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




with lightest ions reaching detector first
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l

, Detection (TOF) - correct answerpositive ions hit negatively charged plate and gain an electron which
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




forms a current, the larger the current the higher the abundance
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




Analysis (TOF) - correct answer-computer uses data to produce mass spectrum which shows mass m /
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




charge z ratio
II!l II!l II!l




-mr or ar is furthest right peak (small peaks larger than mr are due to isotopes)
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




-may be large peaks at lower mr due to fragmentation
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




Electron spin - correct answerProperty of electron (CW or ACW)
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




Represented by up and down arrows II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




Orbitals - correct answerDefined regions of space around nucleus where electrons most likely to be
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




found, each orbital holds 2 electrons
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




Hund's Rule - correct answerElectrons prefer to occupy orbitals on their own and only pair up when no
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




empty or bait ask of same energy are available

Why does ionization energy decrease down a group? - correct answerAtoms get bigger so electrons
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




further away from nucleus, greater shielding
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




Why does ionization energy increase across a period? - correct answerAtoms get smaller, nuclear charge
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




increases, similar shielding
