Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

(C) C₆H₅-C₆H₅

● Explanation -

When phenyl halide is treated with sodium metal in presence of dry ether, diphenyl is formed. This is called Wurtz reaction.

2 C₆H₅-X + 2 Na --> C₆H₅-C₆H₅ + 2 NaX

Therefore, correct option is (C) C₆H₅-C₆H₅.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
