The relative abundance of the isotopes of the elements can be determined by:
Correct answer: A. Mass Spectrometry
- A. Mass Spectrometry
- B. X-rays
- C. Chromatography
- D. Solvent Extraction
Explanation
A is correct as mass spectrometry is a method to differentiate between different isotopes of an element.B is incorrect as X-ray cant be used to differentiate between different isotopes of an element.C is incorrect as chromatography is used to differentiate between different solvents.D is incorrect as solvent extraction is a method to extract a soluble solute from a solution.

About Spectroscopy and Analysis
Spectroscopy studies how substances absorb, emit or interact with electromagnetic radiation. Coverage includes ultraviolet-visible absorption, infrared identification of functional groups, Beer-Lambert law, spectral interpretation and the use of spectroscopic data to identify or determine the concentration of chemical substances.
