To solve the question of what is not obtained when ethyl chloride and n-propyl chloride undergo Wurtz reaction, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Wurtz Reaction**: The Wurtz reaction involves the coupling of alkyl halides using sodium metal in dry ether, leading to the formation of alkanes. The general reaction can be represented as: \[ 2 R-X + 2 Na \rightarrow R-R + 2 NaX \] ...
