How many monochloro constitutional isomers would the reaction of 2-methylbutane with chlorine in the presence of light produce?

There are 4 monochloro isomers possible

Explanation:

The monochlorination of 2-methyl butane has 4 monochloro isomers, with different grade of abundance.

33 % 2-chloro-3-methylbutane

30 % 1-chloro-2-methylbutane

22 % 2-chloro-2-methylbutane

15 % 1-chloro-3-methylbutane.

33 % 2-chloro-3-methylbutane  is the most stable; 15 % 1-chloro-3-methylbutane is the less stable.

Of those 4 monochloro isomers, there are two chiral compounds  possible

⇒ 2-chloro-2-methylbutane

⇒ 2-chloro-3-methylbutane.

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.
