Among the isomeric alkanes of molecular formula `C_(5)H_(12)`, identify the one that on photochemical chlorination yields (i) A single monochloride. (ii) Three isomeric monochlorides. (iii) Four isomeric monochlorides. |

Answer» `{:(" "CH_(3)),(" |"),(" "H_(3)C-C-CH_(3)),(" |"),(" "CH_(3)):} " "` All the hydrogen atoms are equivalent and replacement of any hydrogen will give the same product. (ii) `C^(a)H_(3)C^(b)H_(2)C^(c)H_(2)C^(b)H_(2)C^(a)H_(3) " " `The equivalent hydrogens are grouped as a, b and c. The replacement of equivalent hydrogens will give the same product. (iii) `C^(a)H_(3)underset(CH_(3)^(a))underset(|)C^(b)HC^(c)H_(2)C^(d)H_(3) " "` Similarly the equivalent hydrogens are grouped as a, b, c and d. Thus, four isomeric products are possible. |
