Question

When Na reacts with liquid NH3 the following substance is formed : (A) [ Na ( NH 3) x ]- (B) [ e ( NH 3)y]- (C) NaNH 2 (D) Na x NH 3 y

Sodium (Na) dissolves in liquid ammonia (NH ) solution to form a blue colored solution characteristic of a solvated electron in liquid ammonia which is conducting in nature due to presence of solvated electrons.
Reaction is

N a + (x + y) N H_{3} \to [N a (N H_{3})_{x}]^{+} + [e (N H_{3})_{y}]^{-}

Q. When $N a$ reacts with liquid $N H_{3}$ the following substance is formed :

$[N a (N H_{3}) x]^{-}$

$[e (N H_{3})_{y}]^{-}$

$N a N H_{2}$

$N a_{x} N H_{3 y}$
