Freshly prepared, bright blue coloured solution of sodium in liquid ammonia can be used to reduce the organic functional moieties. In this, the actual reducing species is

A

`[Na(NH_(3))_(n)]^(+)`

B

`[H_(2)(NH_(3))_(n)]`

C

`[NaNH_(2)(NH_(3))_(n)]`

D

`[e(NH_(3))_(n)]^(+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Solved electron acts as reducing agent
`Na+(m+n)NH_(3) to [Na(NH_(3))_(n))]^(+)+[e(NH_(3))_(n)]^(-)"solved electron"`
