Sir, whether the anion mechanism in'Woortz' reaction obeys that carbon atoms in product side double reactant side

Solution

Yes the

The Wurtz reaction is limited to synthesis of symmetrical alkanes with even number of carbon atoms only. The number of carbons in the alkane is double that of alkyl halide (n ---> 2n type reaction)
