Chapter 3, Problem 33P(choose chapter or problem)
Carbon has two stable isotopes, \({ }_{6}^{12} \mathrm{C}\) and \({ }_{6}^{13} \mathrm{C}\), and fluorine has only one stable isotope, \({ }_{9}^{19} \mathrm{F}\). How many peaks would you observe in the mass spectrum of the positive ion of \(\mathrm{CF}_{4}^{+}\)? Assume that the ion does not break up into smaller fragments.

QUESTION:
Carbon has two stable isotopes, \({ }_{6}^{12} \mathrm{C}\) and \({ }_{6}^{13} \mathrm{C}\), and fluorine has only one stable isotope, \({ }_{9}^{19} \mathrm{F}\). How many peaks would you observe in the mass spectrum of the positive ion of \(\mathrm{CF}_{4}^{+}\)? Assume that the ion does not break up into smaller fragments.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Here, we are going to find out the number of peaks observed in the mass spectrum of the positive ion \(\mathrm{{CF_{4}}^+}\)
