Among the isomeric alkanes of molecular formula `C_(5)H_(12)`, identify the one that on photochemical chlorination yields
a single monochloride

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A single monochloride (IV) can be produced only when all the hydrogen atoms are equivalent. This isomer must be symmetrical. Its structure is given by (I).
