Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The way in which 2-heptanone could be distinguished from 3-heptanone by the use of mass spectrometry is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Spectroscopy method is used to identify the structure of the substance. The mass spectroscopy is used to determine the molecular mass of a compound. In the mass spectrum, the molecular ion peak is the most important peak. The ratio m/z of the molecular ion occurs at the molecular mass.
