If we see the reaction of methane with halogen, the rate determining step for chlorination is, endothermic
reaction of the chlorine atom with methane to form methyl radical and a molecule of HCl. So free radical is
the intermediate of the reaction. Formation of free radical depends upon the energy required to break a bond
between a hydrogen atom and a carbon atom. Chlorination of propane and Bromination of propane, when
compared it is found that bromination is more selective than chlorination. The probability factor for
3°, 2°, 1° H atom is 5.0 : 3.8 : 1.0 at 25°C for chlorination.

Sol. n-octane has higher boiling point due to stronger van der Waal’s interaction operating between various
molecules of n-octane due to its larger surface area than that of 2, 2, 3, 3-tetramethyl butane.
However due to more spherical geometry better stacking is present in 2, 2, 3, 3-tetramethyl butane which
results into higher melting point.
Sol.

To prepare this compound we need acetylide ion and tertiary butyl halide. Tertiary butyl halide will give E2
reaction which results into formation of other compounds.
