Hope this helps you..

Good luck

Answer 2

Reduction of an alkyl halide with nascent hydrogen leads to the formation of alkane

Explanation:

• It is one of the preparation methods of alkane

• Formation of alkanes takes place from alkyl halide.
• When alkyl halide undergoes reduction with zinc and dilute hydrochloric acid it forms alkane,
• $CH3Cl+ H2 ------ CH4 + HCl$
• Alkyl halide if undergoes reduction in the presence of metallic sodiumm and dry ether it form symmetrical alkanes.
• The product formed will be double the number of atoms present in the alkyl halide.
• This reaction s known as Wurtz reaction.
