MCQ
In a Bainbridge mass spectrometer positive rays of the same element produce different traces. The traces correspond to:
  • Isotopes
  • B
    Isobars
  • C
    Isotones
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

Correct option: A.
Isotopes

In a Bainbridge mass spectrometer positive rays of the same element produce different traces. The traces correspond to isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of same element. They have same atomic number $($nuclear charge$)$ but different mass number $($number of neutrons$)$. Positive rays $($or anode rays or canal rays$)$ contains ions obtained by knocking out electrons from gaseous atoms.
