It operates by first ionizing the sample, converting neutral molecules into ions. These ions are then separated using a magnetic or electric field, creating a spectrum where each ion\u2019s mass-to-charge ratio (m\/z) is plotted. This creates a \u201cmass spectrum,\u201d which displays the relative abundance of each ion. By analyzing this spectrum, scientists can precisely determine the molecular weight of a compound, identify unknown substances by comparing their fragmentation patterns to known compounds, and quantitatively measure the relative amounts of different molecules within a sample.
