It's called Wurtz response on the off chance that you wanna gaze upward or something!
Methyl bromide experiences Wurtz response to give ethane,
(C2H6). 2CH3Br + 2Na = C2H6 + 2NaBr.
This is the Wurtz response, it frames ethane.
Dynamic metals and natural halides are a hazardous blend.
At the point when methyl bromide is treated with sodium within the sight of dry ether, ethane is framed.
This response is known as the Wurtz response.
