A single substitution of H atom in an alkane of molar mass `"72 g mol"^(-1)` by chlorine produces only one product. The alkane is

A

n-pentane

B

2-methylbutane

C

2,2-dimethylpropane

D

n-butane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
2,2-Dimethylpropane `[CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-CH_(3)]` will produce single monochlorinated product as all the four methyl groups are equivalent.
