Abstract: 
The presented work of this paper will be the first of a series of MS spectral analysis for some selected well-known compounds. In here the target molecules to have their MS spectra analyzed are α-Ionone and β-Ionone. The analysis will be in detail and show the mechanism of how the major fragments are formed in the mass spectrophotometer; hence, this paper is for educational purposes that could serve both students and instructors.
