Other Definitiions
- Isotopes have unique precise masses, a consequence of which is that the elemental composition of any molecule, or fragment of one, can be calculated from its mass if this is sufficiently accurately determined.??????????????
- Measured Accurate Mass: the experimentally determined mass that allows the elemental formula to be deduced. Not to be used to indicate the calculated mass.
