Cool,

thank you very much!

Thank you so much!!!!!!

what about the thing that accelerates the ion whats is it called

[IsaacsTEACH]

@steveeliasbelabbas depending on the type of mass spec, but generally an electric field (and/or a magnetic field) can accelerate the ions.

omg this is amazing, thank you so much, it was a masive help :)

[Ichichan001]

This was really helpful! One question: Is the mass spec run multiple times with the same elements to find the isotope abundance? How can you tell just from deflections that a specific isotope is more abundant?

[IsaacsTEACH]

@Ichichan001 The mass spec runs a sample of ionized particles, so there are a lot of particles moving through. The abundance is determined from the number of collisions at a particular point of impact. Since all the atoms of one isotope will follow generally the same path, they hit in generally the same spot and the mass spec counts those collisions.)
