Relative atomic mass from mass spectrum

A mass spectrum in a student HL revision has peaks at \(63\) with \(61\%\) abundance and \(65\) with \(39\%\). Calculate relative atomic mass. Use the HL diagram labels before giving the value or explanation. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the chemistry.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
