Question:

Explain each of the following observations resulting from a comparison of the mass spectra of 2-hexanone (A) and 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone (B).

(a) The m/z = 57 fragment peak is much more intense in the spectrum of B than it is in the spectrum of A.

(b) The spectrum of compound A shows a fragment at m/z = 58, but that of compound B does not.
