Expert Answer
When an alkyl halide is treated with metallic sodium in dry ethereal solution, asymmetrical alkane containing twice the number of carbon atoms present in the alkyl group is obtained.
RX + 2Na + XR → R-R + 2NaX
This reaction is used in the formation of higher alkanes from the lower alkanes.
