If one hydrogen in a hydrocarbon is replaced by a halogen
a. n-pentane
b. 2-methylbutane
c. 2,4-dimethylpentane
d. methylcyclobutane
(a)

Interpretation: The number of isomers that can be obtained when one hydrogen atom in each of the given compound is replaced by a chlorine atom.
Concept introduction: Structural isomerism occurs when two compounds have same number of atoms but the spatial arrangement of the atoms is different from each other. If one hydrogen atom of a hydrocarbon is replaced by a halogen atom, the number of isomers that exists for the substituted compound depends on the number of types of hydrogen in the original hydrocarbon.
To determine: The number of isomers that can be obtained when one hydrogen in n-pentane is replaced by a chlorine atom.

- Predict the major products of this reaction. Cl₂ hv ? Draw only the major product or products in the drawing area below. If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. If there will be no products because there will be no significant reaction, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank.

In other words, if you said the pressure of N2 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding H2? Similarly, if you said the pressure of N will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding H₂?
