Which of the following statements regarding mass spectrometry is incorrect?

A compound whose molecules contain just one bromine atom shows two molecular ion peaks of similar intensity, one at +1 and one at -1 of the average m/z value
b.
Molecular ion peaks always have even-numbered values of m/z
c.
Only cations can be detected by a normal mass spectrometer
d.
In a normal mass spectrometer, electron impact causes a molecule to lose an electron and become a molecular radical cation which decomposes into fragment cations and radicals
