Isotopes of elements can contribute to the presence of multiple peaks for a single compound in the mass spectrum. For example, the natural abundance of carbon-13 (13C) and hydrogen-2 (deuterium, 2H) can result in isotopic patterns in the spec­trum. The relative intensity of isotopic peaks depends on the isotopic composition of the elements in the sample.
