Solution

Dear Student,

Ethane when reacts with Br₂ in presence of sunlight gives a mixture of product. The products are:

1-bromoethane

1,2-bromoethane

1,1,2-bromoethane

1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane

1,1,1,2,2-pentabromoethane

1,1,1,2,2,2-hexabromoethane

${CH}_{3} - {CH}_{3} \to_{Sunlight}^{{Br}_{2}} {CH}_{2} (Br) - {CH}_{3} + {CH}_{2} (Br) - {CH}_{2} (Br) + CH (Br)_{2} - {CH}_{2} (Br) + CH (Br)_{2} - CH (Br)_{2} + C (Br)_{3} - CH (Br)_{2} + C (Br)_{3} - C (Br)_{3}$
