1. This question has 4 part(s).
1.1. Propane reacts with chlorine to form a mixture of chloropropanes. This is a photochemical reaction.
i) What is meant by the phrase photochemical reaction?
[1]
ii) The products of this reaction include two isomers, one of which has the following structural formula.

Draw the structural formula of the other isomer.
[1]
iii) Explain why these two different compounds are isomers.
[2]
1.2. Bond breaking is an endothermic change and bond forming is an exothermic change.
Bond energy is the amount of energy in kJ / mol needed to break one mole of the specified bond.

Use the following bond energies to determine whether this reaction is exothermic or endothermic. You must show your reasoning.
bond | bond energies in kJ / mol |
C-Cl | 338 |
C-H | 412 |
Cl-Cl | 242 |
H-Cl | 431 |
C-C | 348 |
