Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution
Please bear in mind that wurtz reaction fails whenever tertiary alkyl halides are used.
An example of Wurtz reaction is given below:
2R – X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na + X−
<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>
Organic compounds can simply be defined as those classes of organic molecules which contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds).
Below are some few general characteristics of organic compounds:
- All organic compounds contain carbon.
- Most of them are flammable.
- They are all soluble in non-polar solvents
- Most organic compounds / substances are covalently bonded molecules
Some classes of organic compounds are:
So therefore, Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

#SPJ1
The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles γ
- positron particles ₁e⁰
O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same
Reaction
The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7
If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)
The sum of angels of a quadrilateral is equal to 360°.
∠A = 360 - (60 + 45 + 100) = 155
