← ScienceWhich 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.
