Question

Which one is the incorrect statement regarding mass spectrum?

 

options:

 

The structure likely contains a chlorine atom if the (M+2)+• peak is approximately one-third as tall as (M)+•

 

The relative heights of  (M)+• peak and (M+1)+• peak indicate the number of carbon atoms

 

A signal at M-15 indicates the loss of a methyl group and a signal at M-29 indicates the loss of an ethyl group

 

The structure likely contains a bromine atom if the (M+2)+• peak and (M)+• are almost similar in heights

 

In case of alcohols, a signal at m/z = 18 is produced due to the loss of neutral H2O molecule  (Dehydration)
