Which outcome occurs when a laser desorbs large, fragile molecules for mass spectrometry?

💡 Explanation

When a laser desorbs fragile molecules, the energy input can cause excessive internal vibrational excitation leading to analyte fragmentation, because bonds break before ionization, reducing the mass resolution. Therefore fragmentation becomes a dominant issue, rather than other effects needing tuned molecular concentrations.
