How many hydrogen atoms are present in chloropropane? Correct Answer 7

Option 2 is correct, i.e. 7.

  • Chloropropane contains 7 hydrogen atoms and some of them are different from each other.
  • For example, the three H atoms on the C-3 are attached to a carbon bonded to a C.
  • They are different from the H atoms on C-2, which is bonded to two C atoms and the two H atoms on C-1 are different again because C-1 is attached to a Cl.
  • 1-chloropropane appears as a clear colorless liquid. Boiling point 46.6°C. Flashpoint below 0°F. Less dense than water and slightly soluble in water. Vapors are heavier than air. Irritant and narcotic.
