Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionMass spectrometry is more often applied to molecules than to atoms. We will see in Chapter 3 that the molecular weight of a molecule is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in the molecule. The mass spectrum of H2 is taken under conditions that prevent decomposition into H atoms. The two naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen are 1H (atomic mass = 1.00783 u; abundance 99.9885%) and 2H 1atomic mass = 2.01410 u; abundance 0.0115%2. (a) How many peaks will the mass spectrum have?
