Question

On dissolving moderate amount of sodium metal in liquid $N{H}_3$ at low temperature, which one of the following does not occur?

• A. Blue coloured solution is obtained
• B. Na⁺ ions are formed in solution
• C. Liquid ammonia becomes good conductor of electricity
• D. Liquid NH₃ remains diamagnetic

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Liquid NH₃ remains diamagnetic

$Na+(x+y)N{H}_3\to \left[Na\right(N{H}_3{)}_X{]}^{+}+\left[e\right(N{H}_3{)}_y{]}^{-}$
