Despite the limitations of radical chlorination of alkanes, the reaction is still useful for synthesizing certain halogenated co
mpounds. For which of the following compounds does radical monochlorination give a single product?
CH4
2-methylpropane
1-methylcyclopentane
Which one give a single product and what is radical monochlorination?
CH4
2-methylpropane
1-methylcyclopentane
Which one give a single product and what is radical monochlorination?
1 answer:
Answer:2-methylpropane
Explanation:
The structure of 2-methylpropane is contrasted with that of propane in the image attached. It is easy to see that 2-methylpropane contains a tertiary carbon atom which forms a stable radical. This stable radical formed will eventually lead to the yield of a single product which is 2-chloro-2-methylpropane. A tertiary radical is the most stable radical and often leads to the formation of a single product.

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
A VHF television station assigned to channel transmits its signal using radio waves with a frequency of 66.0 MHz. Calculate the wavelength of the radio waves. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
Answer: The wavelength of the radio waves is 4.54 m
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:
where,
= wavelength of the light
c = speed of light =
= frequency of light =
Putting the values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the wavelength of the radio waves is 4.54 m
