Definitions:

Fragment Peaks

Fragment peaks in mass spectrometry refer to the peaks that represent the masses of fragments from the molecule being ionized and broken apart, aiding in the determination of molecular structure.

M/Z Fragment

Refers to the mass-to-charge ratio of ions observed in mass spectrometry, crucial for identifying and characterizing molecules based on their fragmentation patterns.

Molecular Ion Region

The part of a mass spectrum that shows the peaks corresponding to the molecular ions, providing information about the molecular weight of a compound.

Mass Spectrum

A graph or data set representing the distribution of ions by their mass-to-charge ratio, used to identify or quantify substances.
