Chapter 12, Problem 29P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major product obtained by the reaction of excess of given compound with Cl2 in presence of ultraviolet light should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.

Bond strength is depends on the formation of the radical, if the radical is involving in resonance which is weakest bond strength.

Chlorination:
