Q. The product of the reaction of ethylidene chloride with zinc dust is

$C H_{2} = C H_{2}$

$C H \equiv C H$

$C H_{3} - C H = C H - C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} - C H = C H_{2}$

Q. The product of the reaction of ethylidene chloride with zinc dust is

CH2​=CH2​

CH≡CH

CH3​−CH=CH−CH3​

CH3​CH2​−CH=CH2​
