A hydrocarbon of molecular mass 72 g `mol^(-1)` gives a single monochloro derivative and two dichloro derivatives on photo chlorination. Give the structure of the hydrocarbon.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The hydrocarbon is `C_(5)H_(12)` (pentane). Since the hydrocarbon gives a single monochloroderivative, it must be of symmetrical nature.
