Rule 2: The intensity of the M+. decreases with increasing molecular weight. (The carboxylic acid is the exception)

Rule 3: Cleavage is favoured at the branching point, this reflects the greater stability of the ion. The loss of the largest substituent is favoured also.

The relative ion region is very complex for molecules containing more than one atom which has a significant isotope, e.g. Cl, Br, C & S. An expression can be used to calculate the intensities.
(a+b)m
Where a= relative abundance of the lighter element b= relative abundance of the heavier element m= number of atoms of the element present
So if we have 2 atoms of the element we get:-
(a+b)2
= a2 + 2ab + b2
The first term is the relative intensity of the element containing only isotope aThe second term is the relative intensity of the 2 isotopes a and bThe third term is the relative intensity of the element containing only isotope b
So if we consider a molecule with 2 Chlorine atoms what are the relative intensities of the contributions to the Cl atoms. Assume the isotopic ratios of Cl35:Cl37 = 3:1
The M values will be
Cl35Cl35Ξ M, Cl35Cl37Ξ M+2, Cl37Cl37Ξ M+4
(a+b)m = (a+b)2 = a2 + 2ab +b2 = 32 +2x3x1 + 12 = 9 + 6 + 1
So: M=9, M+2=6, M+4=1
