Draw the products of the mono-chlorination reaction of methylcyclopentane. Indicate the minor and major products.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I've tried looking up examples of how to do this problem but can't seem to find any. From what I understand it's an isomer drawing question. I've uploaded a few pictures just so you guys can see if I'm on the right track or not.

What's it mean by minor or major products? If the major products are the most stable, wouldn't the chlorine want to bind to a substituent? Maybe one of the CH3's hydrogens?
Would appreciate any help
