    Solution of sodium metal in liquid ammonia is strongly reducing due to the presence in the solution of the following [KCET 2000; MP PMT 2001]

    A) Sodium hydride

    B) Sodium amide

    C) Sodium atoms

    D) Solvated electrons

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Sodium metal in liq. \[N{{H}_{3}}\] solution shows strong reducing power due to solvated electron. \[Na+(x+y)N{{H}_{3}}\] ⇌ \[{{[Na{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{x}}]}^{+}}+\underset{\text{solvated}\,\text{electron}}{\mathop{{{[e{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{y}}]}^{-}}}}\,\]
