Question

CH4 cannot be synthesized by wurtz reaction...??
Give brief reason.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Methane cannot be prepared by wurtz reaction. Methane (being the simplest alkane) has no C-C bonds, so cannot be synthesised this way. Because wurtz rxn prepare symmetrical alkanes but unsymmetrical alkanes can be prepared in mixture

Answer 2

Explanation:

This must be the answer yaar.Wurtz reaction cannot be used for the preparation of unsymmetrical alkanes because if two dissimilar alkyl halides are taken as the reactants, then a mixture of alkanes is obtained as the products. Since the reaction involves free radical species, a side reaction also occurs to produce an alkene.
