CBSEENCH12007598

Among the isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C5H12, identify the one that on photochemical chlorination yields:

i) A single monochloride.

Solution

To have a single monochloride, there should be only one type of H-atom in the isomer of the alkane of the molecular formula C5H12. This is because, replacement of any H-atom leads to the formation of the same product. The isomer is neopentane.
