A) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]
B) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}-Cl\]
C) \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{3}}\]
D) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Key Idea: This is Wurtz reaction. In this reaction two molecules of alkyl halide react with each other to form alkane having double the number of carbon atoms. \[\underset{\text{ethyl}\,\text{chloride}}{\mathop{\underset{(x)}{\mathop{2C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}Cl}}\,}}\,+2Na\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[\underset{\text{butane}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,+2NaCl\]
