Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`C_(3)H_(8)overset(-2H)underset(+2Cl)rarr C_(3)H_(6)Cl_(2)` The following four structural isomers are possible.
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CHCl_(2)(I), CH_(3)C Cl_(2)CH_(3)(II)`,
`ClClH_(2)CH_(2)Cl (III), CH_(3)-CHCl-CH_(2)Cl(IV)`.
Since (IV) has a chiral carbon, therefore it has two optical isomers. So in all, five isomers are possible.
