1). Compound A gave turbibity immediately,
(1). Compound B gave turbidity after five Aunites
ho), compound C gave turbidity only on heating
the type of compounds A, B and C.

Cl) on reaction with Na/ diethyl ether gives a hydrocarbon which on monochlorination gives only one chloro derivative then, A is tertiary butyl chloride. The reaction of tertiary butyl chloride with Na/ diethyl ether to form 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane is an example of Wurtz coupling. The product 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane has only one type of H atom which is replaced with chlorine to give only one monochloro derivative.
