The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the alkane \( C_6H_{14} \) that gives two monochloro derivatives upon chlorination, we will analyze the possible structures of \( C_6H_{14} \) and determine which one fits the criteria of yielding only two distinct monochloro derivatives. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chlorination**: - Chlorination of alkanes involves the substitution of hydrogen atoms with chlorine atoms. Each unique hydrogen atom replaced by chlorine will yield a different monochloro derivative. 2. **Identifying the Structure of \( C_6H_{14} \)**: - The molecular formula \( C_6H_{14} \) corresponds to several structural isomers. We need to find an isomer that has only two distinct types of hydrogen atoms. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - We will evaluate the provided options to identify which structure can yield only two monochloro derivatives. 4. **Option D**: - The structure is \( CH_3CH(CH_3)CH(CH_3)CH_3 \) (2,4-dimethylpentane). - In this structure, there are two types of hydrogen atoms: - \( CH_3 \) (methyl groups) - \( CH \) (the two central carbons) - Chlorination will replace one of the \( CH \) hydrogens or one of the \( CH_3 \) hydrogens, yielding two distinct monochloro derivatives. 5. **Verifying Other Options**: - **Option C**: This structure has three different types of hydrogen atoms, leading to three possible monochloro derivatives. - **Option B**: This structure also has three different types of hydrogen atoms, leading to three possible monochloro derivatives. - **Option A**: This is a straight-chain alkane (hexane) and will yield multiple monochloro derivatives as well. 6. **Conclusion**: - The only structure that yields exactly two monochloro derivatives is Option D (2,4-dimethylpentane). ### Final Answer: The possible structure of the alkane \( C_6H_{14} \) that gives two monochloro derivatives on chlorination is **Option D: 2,4-dimethylpentane**.
