Factoring Isotope Patterns A + 2 Elements (O, S and Si) Ray A. Gross, Jr. Prince George’s Community College
Outline • Derive a chlorine-rule equation for BrmClncompounds • Expand the equation to include oxygen, sulfur and silicon • Apply the factoring technique to isotope patterns of Br1S1, Cl1S1 and Br1Cl1S1 compounds
General A + 2 Equation IM = 3n22q30r T = m + n + q + r + 1
Model for Br1Si1 • IM = 3n22p30r = 30 • T = m + r + 1 = 3
Summary Gross structures of some aromatic compounds that contain C, H, Br, Cl, O and S can be determined by factoring their A + 2 mass spectral clusters.
