Q.

The Alkali metals dissolve in liquid NH3. It is observed that


Q.
All alkali metals dissolve in anhydrous liquid ammonia to give a blue color solution. It is the ammoniated electron which is responsible for the blue color of the solution, and the electrical conductivity is due to ammoniated cation, [M(NH3)x]+ as well as the ammoniated electron, [e(NH3)y]−, values of x and y depend on the extent of solvation by NH3. Dilute solutions are paramagnetic due to free ammoniated electrons.

What happens if alkali metals are allowed to react with concentrated liquid ammonia?
