What are the products formed between propane and chlorine?

CH3CH2CH3 + Br2 = CH3CHBrCH3 + HBr The major product formed from the reaction is 2-bromopropane. It is a free radical bromination reaction. It is called a substitution reaction because you are substituting a H an atom for a Br atom and making HBr.

Why does chlorobenzene give ortho and para products during electrophilic substitution reaction?

As there is an availability of lone pair of electrons on chlorine, it directs the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution at ortho and para positions.. When we will draw the resonating structures of chloro benzene,we will see that negative charge resides at orho and para positions..
