How many products can be formed from the reaction of (CH3)3CCH2CH2CH3 with Cl2 and hv (monochlorination including stereoisomers)

How many products can be formed from the reaction of (CH3)3CCH2CH2CH3 with Cl2 and hv (monochlorination including stereoisomers?

Explanation:

When chlorine reacts with alkane it attacks primary, secondary, and tertiary carbons of the alkane and forms the corresponding mono-substituted products.

For the given molecule 2,2-dimethylpentane the monochlorinated products are shown below:

Hence, four products are formed.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
