C2H5Br + Na• → CH3 CH2• + NaBr Intermediate free radical CH3 CH2• combines to form CH3CH2 - CH2CH3 (as amain product) and also CH2 == CH2 and C H3CH3 by disproportion <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/33c1418aa1209d1956e0b9671d6c105d-.png" />

Q. $C H_{3} C H_{2} B r$ undergoes Wurtz reaction. We may expect some of the following product
$A : C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}$
$B : C H_{2} = C H_{2}$
$C : C H_{3} — C H_{3}$
Select correct product.

Only A

A and B

A, B and C

A and C

$C_{2} H_{5} B r + N a^{•} \to C H_{3} C H_{2}^{•} + N a B r$
Intermediate free radical $C H_{3} C H_{2}^{•}$ combines to form $C H_{3} C H_{2} - C H_{2} C H_{3}$ (as amain product) and also $C H_{2} == C H_{2}$ and $C H_{3} C H_{3}$ by disproportion
