Options

A. 3-methyl pentane and 2,3 dimethyl butane
B. 2,3-dimethyl butane and n-hexane
C. 2,2-dimethyl butane and 2 methyl pentane
D. 2,3-dimethyl and 2-methyl pentane

Answer

E

Explanation

`overset(1)(C)H_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(2)(CH)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(2)(CH_(2))-overset(1)(CH_(3))`
2,2-Methyl pentane has five different types of hydrogens and hence forms five monochloro derivaties.
