Question
(g) state and explain which one of the following ions will undergo greatest deflection under the same condition in mass spectrometer: 6Li^+, 6Li^2+, 7Li^+, 7Li^2+. (note: 6 and 7 are the mass number of Li).

Answer
I believe it would be the 7Li^2+ since it is among the greatest weight
and has the greatest charge.

As can be found in http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/HBASE/magnetic/maspec.html

It has the following sayings to click on:
Derive radius expression
How does a velocity selector work?
Magnetic interactions with charge
Applications of mass spectrometers

It says that the more the charge, the more they move.
Clicking on Applications of mass spectrometers shows a graph where the more mass they have,
the more they move over.  Charge bears a small amount on this, but not much.
Yet still, higher charaged particles tend to go farther.

Expertise

Any kind of calculus question you want. I also have answered some questions in Physics (mass, momentum, falling bodies), Chemistry (charge, reactions, symbols, molecules), and Biology.

Experience

Experience in the area: I have tutored students in all areas of mathematics for over 25 years. Education/Credentials: BSand MS in Mathematics from Oregon State University, where I completed sophomore course in Physics and Chemistry. I received both degrees with high honors. Awards and Honors: I have passed Actuarial tests 100, 110, and 135.

Publications
Maybe not a publication, but I have respond to well oveer 7,500 questions on the PC. Well over 2,000 of them have been in calculus.

Education/Credentials
I aquired well over 40 hours of upper division courses. This was well over the number that were required. I graduated with honors in both my BS and MS degree from Oregon State University. I was allowed to jump into a few junior level courses my sophomore year.

Awards and Honors
I have been nominated as the expert of the month several times. All of my scores right now are at least a 9.8 average (out of 10).

Past/Present Clients
My past clients have been students at OSU, students at the college in South Seattle, referals from a company, friends and aquantenances, people from my church, and people like you from all over the world.
