Recall: base peak - highest peak in the mass spec, with a relative intensity of 100; usually the most stable fragment
molecular ion peak - heaviest peak in the mass spec, with almost the same mass the original molecule
a) The ________ is assigned a relative intensity of 100.
a. base peak
b. molecular ion peak
