1. Show the mechanism for the main product for the monochlorination of 2-methylbutane. List all other products.

See explanation below

Explanation:

First, we need to understand that the monochlorination of an alkane like this one, involves substitution of one of the atoms of hydrogen of the molecule for an atom of chlorine.

This reaction takes place when the alkane reacts with Cl₂ in presence of light or heat.

When this happens, the first step involves the breaking of the double bond of the chlorine to form the ion Cl⁻.

The next step involves the substraction of the hydrogen of the molecule by the Chlorine. This will leave the alkane with a lone pair available for reaction.

The third step, the alkane with the lone pair of electron substract a chlorine for the beggining and form the mono chlorinated product.

The final step involves forming the remaining products with the remaining reagents there.

In the picture attached you have the mechanism and product for this reaction:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In the attached picture you will find the required mechanism.

1. The first step is the dissociation of chlorine by the effect of hear or light.

2. Then, the chlorine is able to "steal" a hydrogen from the 2-methylbutane based on Markovnikov's rules so a free radical is formed as well as hydrogen chloride.

3. Then, the previously formed free radical is attacked by the remaining chlorine to yield the 3-chloro-2-methylbutane.

At the end the overall reaction is shown.

Regards.

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
