On dissolving moderate amount of sodium ...

On dissolving moderate amount of sodium metal in liquid ammonia at low temperature, which of the following does not occur ?

A

Blue coloured solution is obtained

B

`Na^(+)` ions are formed in the solution

C

Liquid `NH_(3)` becomes good conductor of electricity

D

Liquid ammonia remains diamagnetic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Moderate amount of Na metal
`Na + Liq. NH_(3) rarr underset("ammoniated sodium")([Na(NH_(3))_(2)]^(+))`
Due to presence of `rarr underset("ammoniated e")([e(NH_(3))_(y)]^(-))`
`e^(-)` blue colored solution obtained.
