Yes, of course. This post focuses on mono-chlorination in order to quantify their reactivity.
]]>It can be true that the major product is not always the more stable radical.
In the specific case of propane, experiments show that slightly more 2-chloropropane (55%) is produced than 1-chloropropane (45%), despite the fact that there are 3 times as many primary hydrogens as secondary hydrogens.

]]>Yes, that is exactly correct.
]]>Are these correct answers to those compounds at the bottom???
]]>thank you!!
]]>Well, to be literal, it could indeed go on any of the 5 carbons, but because 4-chloropentane and 5-chloropentane are the same as 2-chloropentane and 1-chloropentane, respectively, there are only 3 “official” possibilities.
