To solve the problem of identifying isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C₅H₁₂ that yield different numbers of monochlorides upon photochemical chlorination, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the isomeric structures of C₅H₁₂ The molecular formula C₅H₁₂ corresponds to five-carbon alkanes. The possible structural isomers are: 1. **n-Pentane**: CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃ 2. **Isopentane (2-methylbutane)**: CH₃-CH(CH₃)-CH₂-CH₃ 3. **Neopentane (2,2-dimethylpropane)**: (CH₃)₄C 4. **Cyclopentane**: C₅H₁₂ (not applicable as it is not an alkane) ...
