A highly pure dilute solution of sodium in liquid ammonia:

Options

A. on evaporation yield metals
B. exhibits electrical conductivity
C. produces sodium amide and hydrogen gas instantly
D. acts as powerful reducing agent

Answer

A,B,D

Explanation

`M+(x+y)NH_3 to [M (NH_3)_x]^(+) + [e (NH_3)_y]^(-)`.Blue colour of the solution is due to ammoniated electrons and good conductor of electricity because of both ammoniated cations and ammoniated electrons.
