    emitted
  • DISCUSS how would bromine atoms form bonds with another element
    Bromine has 7 valence electrons; it will tend to gain 1e and become Br-
  • What happens in the ionization stage of mass spectrometry?
    an electron is removed from the atom, resulting to a positive ion
  • In the magnetic field, the higher the mass, the ____ the deflection
