Among the three iso meric alkanes (C_5H_12), identify the one that on chlorination yields a) Four isomeric monochlorides b) Three isomeric monochlorides c) A single monochloride |

Answer» Solution :a) `CH_3-underset(CH_3)underset(|)(C)H-CH_2-CH_3` In methylbutane, there are four DIFFERENT carbon atoms and hence four different hydrogen atoms. Thus, four ISOMERIC products are POSSIBLE. b) `CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3` In PENTANE, there are three different carbon atoms and hence three different hydrogen atoms. Then, three isomeric products are possible. c) `H_3C-underset(CH_3)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)(C)-CH_3` In dimethylpropane, all the hydrogen atoms are equivalent. Hence only one isomeric product is possible. |
