> same isotope.
 * Common Misconceptions:**
 * Isotopes of the same element don't differ in how much they are deflected.
 * Two specimens of the same isotope with a different charges will not have different deflections within the mass spectrometer because they are the


 * Interesting Facts:**
 * The mass spectrometer was invented 13 years before the neutron was discovered.
 * Any chemical compound that has 1 N atom in it will have an odd value for its molecular formula. For example, the molecular formula for CH3NH2 is 31.
 * Mass spectrometry is often used to analyse urine of sports people to determine whether they have been using performance enhancing drugs.
