Among the isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C5H12, identify the one that on photochemical chlorination yields
A single monochloride.
To have a single monochloride, there should be only one type of H-atom in the isomer of the alkane of the molecular formula C5H12. This is because of the fact that replacement of any H-atom leads to the formation of the same product. Therefore the isomer is 2,2-dimethylpropane.
