Which statement is FALSE regarding the chlorination of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane at 300 K?
The relative reactivity of tertiary hydrogens compared to primary hydrogens is greater than 1.
The reaction proceeds via a radical mechanism.
The tertiary hydrogen is chlorinated preferentially, yielding 4-chloro-2,2,4-trimethylpentane as the major product.
Multiple monochlorinated products are formed.
