    Chlorination of which of the following substance is a substitution reaction?

    A)  2-butene           

    B)  1-butyne

    C)   iso-butane                       

    D)  iso-butylene

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Unsaturated compounds like alkenes, alkynes show addition reaction with chlorine while saturated compounds like alkane (iso-butane) give substitution reaction on chlorination. \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{iso-bu\tan e}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,}}\,C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[light]{C{{l}_{2}}}C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}Cl\]                                                 \[+C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Cl \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\]
