In TOF, ions of lower mass are accelerated to lower velocities and reach the detector last.

In TOF, ions of lower mass are accelerated to lower velocities and reach the detector last. Correct Answer False

The above statement is false. In TOF, ions of lower mass are accelerated to higher velocities and reach the detector first. Thus, ions are accelerated at different velocities depending on their mass-to-charge ratio.
