While there are 4 combinations of isotopes of bromine in this molecule, there are only 3 different masses of bromine: heavy-heavy, heavy-light, and light-light.
Thus 3 x 3 = 9 different masses.

You have to take into account the possibility of forming molecules from the natural isotopes of chlorine (Cl-35 and Cl-37) and those of oxygen (O-16, 17, 18).
Hydrogen can't exist as a three-atom single-element molecule no matter what you do to it - it has only one bonding site. If you stick an atom with two bonding sites between the hydrogen atoms you can pull it off, but this isn't a question about water. Oxygen can naturally exist as a three-atom molecule - it's ozone.
No. Several nonmetals form molecules. Here they are with the molecules they can exist as. Some of the rarer molecules are excluded Hydrogen (H2), Carbon (C60 and other fullerenes) Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2, O3), Fluorine (F2), Phosphorus (P4), Sulfur (S8), Chlorine (Cl2), Selenium (Se8), Bromine (Br2), Iodine (I2)
Hg(OH)2, yes, it does exist. Although it must be synthsized as it deosn't exist naturally. Molecules has been isolated (2004) on frozen neon or argon. If you try and make it by adding hydroxide to a solution of Hg2+ what you get is HgO, mercury(II) oxide as a precipitate.

Many atoms exist in the form of different isotopes. These have different numbers of neutrons and so their atomic masses are different. The atomic mass for the element is the average of these masses, weighted together according to their abundance.
Both nitrogen and oxygen exist at standard temperature and pressure as diatomic molecules. Therefore, the relative masses of equal numbers of molecules of the substance will the same as the ratios of their atomic masses, which are 15.9994 for oxygen and 14.0067 for nitrogen. The mass of oxygen that contains the same number of molecules as 42 g of nitrogen is 42(15.9994/14.0067) or 48 g, to the justified number of significant digits.

Not naturally,but yes they do exist.

Most elements have different types of atoms. These variations on an element's atoms are called isotopes and have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses. It is also possible to artificially create other isotopes of elements that do not exist "naturally," even for the few elements that normally have only one isotope (e.g. gold, arsenic, cobalt, aluminum, phosphorus).
They are made of different kinds of molecules.
