Document Summary

Drug= natural/ synthetic substance that produces physiological + psychological effects in humans/ animals. Impairs judgement + can cause liver/ heart/ brain damage: stimulants, can result in death, substances taken to increase alertness + focus, also results in: decrease in fatigue + loss of appetite, classification, amphetamines. Impaired motor functions: high blood pressure, amnesia, mild respiratory depression, methamphetamine. Anabolic steroids= synthetic compounds chemically related to male sex hormone, Testosterone, used to accelerate muscle growth: side effects, mood swings, personality swings, depression, diminished sex drive, halting bone growth. Infrared spectrophotometry: gas chromatography mass spectrometry, when selecting the identification technique need for qualitative/ quantitative determination, qualitative: identity of the material, quantitative: percent composition of components in the mix. Ir spectrum acts as the fingerprint of the substance. Mass spectrometer= beam of high-energy electrons are made to collide with the material, produces positively charged ions: positive ions immediately decompose into multiple fragments then separated based on masses, no 2 substances share same fragmentation pattern.
