Mass-to-Charge Ratio (m/z)

A fundamental measurement in mass spectrometry, representing the ratio of an ion's mass to its charge, crucial for identification.

📜

The statement of the theorem

Let

m

be the measured mass of an ion (in atomic mass units,

u

) and

z

be the net charge of the ion (an integer). The mass-to-charge ratio,

R

, is defined as:\n

R = \frac{m}{z}
