Which branched chain isomer of the hydrocarbon with molecular mass 72 u gives only one isomer of mono substituted alkyl halide ?

Answer»

Neopentane
Isohexane
NEOHEXANE
Tetiary butyl CHLORIDE

Solution :As the molecular mass indicates it should be pentane and neopentane can only form one mono substituted alkyl halide as all the HYDROGENS are equivalent in neopentane.
