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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Isomer (II) has three groups of equivalent hydrogen atoms. Therefore, three isomeric monochlorides (V, VI and VII) are produced.
