What is the isotopic peak pattern of each :
Organic compound with 2 bromine atoms.
Organic compound with 2 chlorine atoms.
In the mass spectrum of an unknown organic compound, the molecular ion had a relative abundance of 19.0 while the M+1 had a relative abundance of 1.5. Estimate the number of carbons in the molecule.
The mass spectrum of n-octane shows a prominent molecular ion peak (m>z 114). There is also a large peak at m>z 57,but it is not the base peak. The mass spectrum of 3,4-dimethylhexane shows a smaller molecular ion, and the peak atmass 57 is the base peak. Explain these trends in abundance of the molecular ions and the ions at mass 57, and predict theintensities of the peaks at masses 57 and 114 in the spectrum of 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane.1
