A solution of sodium metal in liquid ammonia is strongly reducing due to the presence ofA. solvated clectronsB. sodium amideC. sodium hydrideD. sodium atoms

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Solution of sodium metal inliquid `NH_(3)` consists of solvated `Na^(+)` ions and solvated electrons:
`Na+(x+y)NH_(3)to[Na(NH_(3))_(x)]^(+)+[e(NH_(3))_(y)]^(-)`
reduction property is mainly due to solvated electrons.
