Answer:
If two different alkyl halides are used in Wurtz reaction to prepare an alkane with odd number of carbon atoms, a mixture of three alkanes is actually produced. ... It is because of this drawback that Wurtz reaction is used for synthesis of symmetrical alkanes and not for the preparation of unsymmetrical alkanes.
