← ScienceWithin mass spectrometers, which outcome limits isotope resolution?
A)Varying ion kinetic energy✓
B)Constant magnetic field strength
C)Uniform ion charge dispersal
D)Stable detector calibration curves
💡 Explanation
Isotope resolution is limited by differing ion kinetic energies because the principle of ion separation within mass spectrometers relies on *magnetic deflection.* Therefore resolving closely-massed isotopes will fail, rather than field influencing charge state because the ions are pre-charged.
