On treating a mixture of two alkyl halides with sodium metal in dry ether, `2`-methylpropane was obtained. The alkyl halides are

A

2-chloropropane and chloromethane

B

2-chloropropane and chloromethane

C

Chloromethane and chloromethane

D

Chloromethane and 1- chloromethane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
It is Wurtz reaction in which hydrocarbon formed when alkyl halide react with Na metal in dry ether
`underset("2chloro propane")(CH_(3)-overset(CI)overset(|)CH-CH_(3))+underset("chloro methane")(CH_(3)CI+2Naoverset("ether")rarr`
`underset("2methyl propane")(CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(CH-CH_(3)+2NaCI)` .
