QUESTION Bromine has two isotopes, 79Br and 81B.. To find out the isotopic abundance of each bromine isotope, a sample of Br, was injected to a mass spectrometer which subsequently released the spectra shown below. From each spectrum height was measured and tabulated. Explain why there are five peaks despite that bromine has only two isotopes. Hint: Read carefully the description of mass spectrometer in the previous Question #5, “How to find isotopic abundance?", especially the phrase in red!
