The alkane that gives only one monochloro product on chlorination with in presence of diffused sunlight is:

  1. A
    2,2-Dimethylbutane
  2. B
    Neopentane
  3. C
    n-Pentane
  4. D
    Isopentane

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A hydrocarbon gives only one monochloro product if all its hydrogen atoms are equivalent.In Neopentane (2,2-Dimethylpropane), all 12 hydrogens are present on four identical methyl groups attached to a central quaternary carbon. Thus, replacing any one of them yields the same product (1-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropane).
