Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas of the three isomeric monochlorides of pentane are to be written and the one that is formed in the greatest amount is to be specified.

Concept Introduction:

>

The relative rates of replacement of different types of hydrogen atoms by a halogen in an alkane depends on the type of radical ( methyl, primary, secondary or tertiary ) produced.

>

The product distribution depends on the relative rates and the number of equivalent sites of each type.
