Hydrocarbons — practice question

The molecular formula $\text{C}_3\text{H}_6$ corresponds to the compounds propene and cyclopropane.
(a)[1]

State the $\text{H-C-H}$ bond angle at the terminal $=\text{CH}_2$ group in propene?

(b(i))[1]

When propene reacts, 1,2-dichloropropane, $\text{CH}_3\text{CHClCH}_2\text{Cl}$, is produced. State fully what type of reaction this is.

(b(ii))[3]

When cyclopropane reacts with chlorine, three different compounds with molecular formula $\text{C}_3\text{H}_4\text{Cl}_2$ may be produced. Draw displayed structures for each of these three compounds.
