Which branched chain isomer of the hydrocarbon with molecular mass 72u gives only one isomer of mono substituted alkyl halide ?

A

Neohexane

B

Tertiary butyl chloride

C

Neopentane

D

Isohexane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Neopentane (mol. Mass = 72 u) gives one mono substituted alkyl halide.
`underset(("Mol.mass = 72 u"))underset("Neopentane")(H_(3)C -underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C) - CH_(3)) overset(Cl_(2)//hv)rarr underset("because all the H-atoms are the same")underset(("single product"))(H_(3)C - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C) - CH_(2) Cl)`
