Question

93. Monochlorination of n-Pentane gives 1-chloropentane (A), 2-chloro-pentane (B) and 3-chloropentane (C). The relative reactivity of 1^° : 2^° : 3^° hydrogen towards chlorination is 1 : 3.8 : 5. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true ? (a) Probability of formation of A is highest (b) Percentage of A,B and C will be 20.83, 52.78 and 26.39 respectively (c) Rate of reaction decreases with the addition of radical scavengers. (d) The order of stability of alkyl radicals formed as intermediate is • • CH3CHCH2CH2CH3 > CH3CH2CHCH2CH3 • > CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3
