Identify the Alkane (molecular formula \(\mathrm{C}_8 \mathrm{H}_{18}\) ) which yields only a single monochloride on Chlorination in the presence of sunlight.
- A 2, 4 -Dimethylhexane
- B 3,4-Dimethylhexane
- C 2, 2, 3, 3-Tetramethylbutane
- D 2, 2, 4-Trimethylpentane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 2, 2, 3, 3-Tetramethylbutane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The formation of only a single monochloride upon chlorination implies that all hydrogen atoms in the alkane molecule are equivalent. This means the molecule must possess a high degree of symmetry such that replacing any hydrogen atom with a chlorine atom results in the same…
