  • question_answer 14)
    A hydrocarbon  does not react with chlorine in dark but gives a single monochloro compound  in bright sunlight.Identify the hydrocarbon.  

    Answer:

    . Which isomer reacts in dark which in sunlight. Then give the reactions.   (i) Molecular formula  can be either alkene or cycloalkane. (ii) Since, the hydrocarbon does not react with chlorine in dark, it isnot an alkene. So, it is a cycloalkane, i.e., cyclopentane. (iii) Since, it forms only single monochloro derivative in brightsunlight, all the H-atoms should be identical. So, it iscyclopentane.
