A hydrocarbon C5H10 does not react with chlorine in dark but gives a single monochloro compound C5H9Cl in bright sunlight. The hydrocarbon is
Cyclopentane is nearly inert chemically, they react with halogens in the presence of light through the substitution of one hydrogen atoms. Since the cyclic structure confers a high degree of symmetry on the molecule, only one monochloro cyclopentane is possible.
