Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chlorination of butane in the presence of light leads to the substitution of hydrogen atoms with chlorine atoms, leading to the formation of chlorinated butanes. The possible products are 1-chlorobutane, 2-chlorobutane, and 2,3-dichlorobutane. The only option that represents a chlorinated butane is option D, which shows the formation of 1-chlorobutane. All other options either have too many or too few chlorine atoms to represent a product of the butane chlorination reaction.
