Q. Statement 1: Neopentane forms one monosubstituted compound. Statement 2: Neopentane is isomer of pentane.

NEETNEET 2022Hydrocarbons

Solution:

Neopentane is isomer of pentane and neopentane forms only one substitution product. Both statements are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1. Neopentane forms monosubstituted product due to presence of four identical methyl groups present on carbon atom.
