Chapter 12, Problem 12.76P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the alkyl halides formedon heating pentane with Cl₂having molecular formula, ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{11}}\text{Cl}$ should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

The reactions in which alkane is reacted with halogen, like Cl₂ or Br₂ is known as halogenation reaction which results in the formation of alkyl halide and hydrogen halide. The important condition for this reaction to occur is heat or exposure to light.
