Answer:
The Wurtz reaction, named after Charles Adolphe Wurtz, is a coupling reaction in organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry and recently inorganic main-group polymers, whereby two alkyl halides are reacted with sodium metal in dry ether solution to form a higher alkane.

It is also used for the preparation of higher alkanes containing even number of carbon atoms:
