Functional Groups in Organic Chemistry

The longest carbon chain is the parent chain containing the principal functional group. 

IUPAC, an international body engaged in developing standards for naming chemical elements and compounds, has laid several rules known as 'IUPAC rules' to

Organic compounds predominantly consist of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms, also known as hydrocarbons.

Carbon's nondiscriminatory nature to form bonds with itself and other elements has led to a wide variety of small and large organic compounds.

The functional group is the agent providing a molecule its quintessential character and is responsible for molecular reactivity.

Among the isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C5H12, identify the one that on photochemical chlorination yields

i) A single monochloride

ii) Three isomeric monochlorides

Question- A and B are two functional isomers of compound C₃H₆O.
