Solution:

During chlorination of alkane, if excess of an alkane is treated with $\left(Cl\right)_{2} \left(\right. g \left.\right)$ in presence of light or heat, the chance of mono–chlorination predominate.
$C_{2} H_{6} \left(\right. excess \left.\right) + C l_{2} \, \, \overset{U V \, \, l i g h t}{ \rightarrow } \left(CH\right)_{3} \, C H_{2} \, C l \, + H C l$
