        Mass spectrometry
        Mass spectrometry can be used to determine the accurate molecular mass and structural features of an organic compound.
        Fragmentation takes place producing parent ion and ion fragments.
        A mass spectrum is obtained showing a plot of the relative abundance of the ions detected against the mass-to-charge ratio.
        From a mass spectrum and empirical formula determine a molecular formula.
