Answer» SOLUTION :(i) The HYDROCARBON with M.F. `C_(5)H_(10)` can be either a cycloalkane or an alkene. (ii) Since the hydrocarbon does not react with `Cl_(2)` in TH dark, it cannot be an alkene but must be a cycloalkane. (iii) Since the cycloalkane reacts with `Cl_(2)` in the presence of bright sunlight, to GIVE a single monochloro compound, `C_(5)H_(9)Cl`, therefore, all the ten hydrogen atoms of the cycloalkane must be equivalent. thus,
