Explanation:
In the chlorination of alkanes, the condition necessary is UV light so free radical substitution can take place. For alkanes like pentane, the primary, secondary and tertiary Hydrogen atoms (Hydrogen atoms bonded to their respective carbon) þare taken into consideration and this is because the tertiary Hydrogen is the most reactive (due to bond dissociation energy) hence the easiest to be substituted. The trend is as follows in the order of their reactivity;
1° < 2° < 3°
So, the products of the chlorination of pentane, the principal monochloride constituted is 3 - chloropentane while the other two monomers are:
2- chloropentane
1- chloropentane
Below is the attachment showing the structural formula of the three monochloride constituted pentane.
