Question
Explain the following.
Sodium dissolves in liquid ammonia to form a solution which shows electrical conductivity.
Solution
- Sodium dissolves in liquid ammonia giving deep blue coloured solutions which is electrically conducting in nature.
\[\ce{Na + (x + y)NH3 -> [Na(NH3)_{{x}}]^+ + [e(NH3)_{{y}}]-}\] - Due to the formation of ions, the solution shows electrical conductivity.
