Why is Wurtz reaction not preferred for the preparation of alkanes containing odd number of carbon atoms ? Illustrate your answer by taking one example.

Why Wurtz reaction cannot be used to prepare pure alkanes with odd number carbon atoms?

How would you differentiate. Why wurtz reaction is not good for synlheis of alkane containing odd number Carbon atoms? What is used in Clemmenson reduction?

The number of chain isomers in alkane containing six carbon atoms is :

Assertion (A) : tert-butyl bromide undergoes Wurtz reaction to give 2,2,3,3-tertramethylbutane. Reason (R) : In Wurtz reaction, alkyl halides reacts with sodium in dry ether to give hydrocarbon containing double the number of carbon atoms present in the halides.

How can an alkane having one carbon atom less be prepared from a carboxylic acid ?

Explain why the spectrum of hydrogen contains a number of lines although a hydrogen atom has only one electron.

This question has statement I and statement II . of the four choices given after the statements choose the one that best describes the two statement Statement-I By Wurtz reaction all types of alkanes can be prepared. statement-II Only symmetric alkanes can be prepared by Wurtz reaction.

Each question has four choices a,b,c and d out of which only one is correct. Each question contains Statement 1 and Statement 2. Make your answer as: If both the statements are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1. If both the statements are True but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1. If Statement 1 is True and Statement 2 is False. If Statement 1 is False and Statement 2 is True. Statement 1: tan5^0 is an irrational number Statement 2: tan15^0 is an irrational number.

Each question has four choices a,b,c and d out of which only one is correct. Each question contains Statement 1 and Statement 2. Make your answer as: a.) If both the statements are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1. b.)If both the statements are True but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1. If Statement 1 is True and Statement 2 is False. If Statement 1 is False and Statement 2 is True. Statement 1: tan5^0 is an irrational number Statement 2: tan15^0 is an irrational number. ln (cotA/2+cotB/2+cotC/2) =lncotA/2+lncotB/2+lncotC/2dot
