The alkyl groups of two alkyl halides join together to form an alkane.

The Wurtz reaction is not suitable for tertiary alkyl halides due to side reaction involving elimintaion reactionsAs steric-hindrance i.e. the factor which arises due to the bulkiness of to reacting alkyl, or rather, tertiary alkyl groups.
