Chapter 13, Problem 26P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The alkane with molecular formula, C5H12 that forms only one monochlorinated product when heated with Cl2 has to be given.

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:

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 13, Problem 26P , additional homework tip  1

2-methyl propane undergoes radical chlorination which yields the 2-bromo-2-methylpropane and 1-bromo-2-methyl propane.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction
