Answer 1

Answer: the structure of alkyl chloride is ch3 - c (ch3)2 - ch2 - cl

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

1-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropane

Explanation:

wurtz reaction is a reaction in which alkyl halides react with metallic sodium (2Na) in dry ether as solvent. which gives higher alkanes containing double the carbon atoms tahn in alkyl halide.

Eg:- 2C2H5 + 2Na -----dry ether---> CH3-CH 2-CH 2-CH3 + 2NaBr
