10.21—Interpret data from mass spectra to suggest possible structures of simple organic compounds using the m/z of the molecular

Be able to interpret data from mass spectra to suggest possible structures of simple organic compounds using the m/z of the molecular ion and fragmentation patterns.

Use —interpret data from mass spectra to suggest possible structures of simple organic compounds using the m/z of the molecular to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —interpret data from mass spectra to suggest possible structures of simple organic compounds using the m/z of the molecular determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —interpret data from mass spectra to suggest possible structures of simple organic compounds using the m/z of the molecular to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —Interpret data from mass spectra to suggest possible structures of simple organic compounds using the m/z of the molecular is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
