Height of peak in mass spectrum shows:
Correct answer: C. Relative abundace of isotopes
- A. Number of isotopes
- B. Mass number
- C. Relative abundace of isotopes
- D. Number of protons
Explanation
Option c is the correct answer. The height of a peak in a mass spectrum is directly proportional to the relative abundance of ions with that particular mass-to-charge ratio. Higher peaks indicate higher abundance of ions with that mass-to-charge ratio.
