The compound CH¿Br2 produces a cluster of six molecular ion peaks, three of which are more prominent than the others. Predict the m/z values at which the peaks appear, as well as an estimate of their relative intensities. Sketch the molecular ion cluster showing the m/z values as well as the relative intensities of the peaks. Clearly show your reasoning.
