Respuesta :

the reaction  of  2  methylbutane  with   chlorine  yield  5 monochloro  derivative.   Methylbutane  has  four  carbon  atoms  which  react with   chlorine.  The  carbon  with antibonding  will  be  chiral   and  it  will react  with  chlorine. there  will  be  four  difference  group  around  chiral  carbon  hence  it  will  have  stereoisomers.

The reaction of 2 methyl butane with chlorine would yield 5 mono chloro derivatives.

Explanation

The organic compound of 2 methyl butane will have 5 C-H groups.

As butane means 4 CH group and one methyl at 2nd position means one more CH group, so totally 5 CH group is present.

These 5 CH group can react with chlorine and form 5 mono chloro derivatives like CH3Cl, CH2Cl etc.

The chirality present in the anti-bonded carbon atoms leads to the exhibition of stereoisomerism while forming mono chloro derivatives.

Thus, it can be confirmed that 5 mono chloro derivatives will be produced when 2 methyl butane reacts with chlorine.
