Wurtz reaction converts alkyl halide into higher alkane when it is made to react with

Answer 1

Answer:

Wurtz reaction. 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: 2 R–X + 2 Na → R–R + 2 Na+X.
