(b) (i) The mass spectrum of a halogenoalkane containing one chlorine atom or bromine atom
will show an additional peak at M+2.
State the isotopes of chlorine and bromine responsible for M+2 peaks.
(ii) The mass spectrum of bromochloromethane, CH2BrCl, has a molecular ion peak, M, at an
m / e value of 128. It also has M+2 and M+4 peaks.
Suggest the identity of the molecular ions that give rise to these peaks.
