(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The structure of three monochlorinated products of pentane.

Interpretation: The structures of three monochlorinated products of pentane are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The chemical reaction which proceeds through the formation of radicals is known as chain reaction. It involves three steps, initiation, propagation and termination. Generally, the initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The quantum yield of chain reactions is very high.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The ratio in which primary and secondary monochlorinated products would be formed.

Interpretation: The ratio in which primary and secondary monochlorinated products would be formed is to be predicted.
