The [M+] ion is caused when the molecule loses an _______
The [M+] peak is detected as the fragment is _______

The m/z 43 ion is the _______ peak because it is the _______ stable ion fragment.
The _______ ion fragments to form a smaller _______ ion that can be detected and a (CH₃·)_______ that is not detected.
Note other molecular ions can fragment to form CH₃⁺ ions that are detected.
