(choose chapter or problem)

Halogenated compounds are particularly easy to identify by their mass spectra because both chlorine and bromine occur naturally as mixtures of two abundant isotopes. Chlorine occurs as 35Cl (75.8%) and 37Cl (24.2%); bromine occurs as 79Br (50.7%) and 81Br (49.3%). At what masses do the molecular ions occur for the following formulas? What are the relative percentages of each molecular ion? (a) Bromomethane, CH3Br (b) 1-Chlorohexane, C6H13Cl
