Chemistry - Halogen Derivative Question with Solution | TestHub

Wurtz reaction: This involves coupling of two identical molecules of alkyl halide upon treatment with $\mathrm{Na}$ metal in presence of dry ether to give alkanes with double the number of carbon atoms as in alkyl halide as follows: $\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{X}\stackrel{\mathrm{Na}/\text{ dry ether }}{⟶}\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{NaX}$
