<span>Molecular compounds, which are represented by molecules, are usually made of non-metals only (or of metalloids and non-metals). Ionic compounds, which are represented by formula units, are made of metals and non-metals.
More detail if you're interested: Molecules and formula units are the representative particles for molecular and ionic compounds, respectively. By that I mean, one unit of a molecular compound is a molecule...a bundle of atoms covalently bonded that exists separately from all the other molecules. One unit of an ionic compound is a formula unit. A formula unit is a representation of the compound's formula. For example, the formula unit of NaCl is one Na^+1 ion and one Cl^-1 ion. The formula unit of AlCl3 is one Al^+3 ion and three Cl^-1 ions. Ionic compounds don't have separate bundles of atoms like molecular compounds do, so the formula unit is just the smallest number of ions that it takes to represent the formula. </span>
Answer:
A: 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane
Explanation:
The possible cyclic structure with formula C₅H₁₀ are shown in the image.
A is a cyclic compound. On monochlorination, A yields 3 products.
To have 3 products on monochlorination, there should be three different carbon atoms.
Considering structure 1, all carbons have same nature, thus only one product will be formed and thus not a structure of A.
Considering structure 2, there are two different carbon atoms, thus two different structure are formed and thus not a structure of A.
Considering structures 3 and 4 , there are four different carbon atoms, thus four products will be formed and either of them are not a structure of A.
Considering structure 5, there are three different carbon atoms, thus three different structure are formed and thus the A is structure 5.
