There are two different isotopes of bromine atoms. Under normal conditions, elemental bromine consists of molecules, and the mass of a molecule is the sum of the masses of the two atoms in the molecule. The mass spectrum of consists of three peaks:
(a) What is the origin of each peak (of what isotopes does each consist)? (b) What is the mass of each isotope? (c) Determine the average molecular mass of a molecule, (d) Determine the average atomic mass of a bromine atom, (e) Calculate the abundances of the two isotopes.

Step 1 of 6
Chemical elements with the same number of protons but differing quantities of neutrons are called isotopes.Isotopes are distinguished by their mass, which is equal to the sum of their protons and neutrons.
