SUMMARY
The discussion centers on chlorine mass spectrometry, specifically the analysis of Cl-35 and Cl-37 isotopes. Participants confirm that the ions Cl-35 and Cl-37 must be charged (+1) to be deflected by electric and magnetic fields during mass spectrometry. It is established that the charge notation can be represented outside the brackets when indicating combinations of ions, such as (Cl-35, Cl-35)+, (Cl-35, Cl-37)+, and (Cl-37, Cl-37)+. The charge notation is crucial for accurate representation in mass spectrometry.
