2. When 1-methylcyclopentane (below) is treated with bromine in the presence of light, two and only two structural isomers are obtained; one is about 90% of the product mixture and the other about 10%. (Ignore sterochemistry for this problem)

a. Draw the major and minor isomers.

b.Provide a complete and detailed mechanism for the formation of the major product. Label each step. Be sure to use proper mechanism arrows!

c. Why are there only two products formed? Explain your answer with a drawing.

When violet light and yellow light shine on a metal surface, only one color produces an electric current. Write 3 - 4 sentences describing the effect of each light on the metal. Would increasing the intensity of either type of light have an effect on the current produced? How does quantization help to explain these observations? (6 points) Please don't write too long :)
