Which risk increases during mass spectrometry of organic isotopes?

A)Isotopic fractionation affects results
B)Detector saturation is nearly impossible
C)Ionization efficiency remains constant
D)Resolving power is largely irrelevant

💡 Explanation

Isotopic fractionation increases in mass spectrometry because lighter isotopes vaporize more easily; therefore fractionation alters the observed ratios rather than constant ionization affecting measurements because heavier isotopes need higher energy.
