Chapter 10: Problem 18
Identify the false statement regarding the solutions of alkali metals in ammonia. (1) The blue colour, paramagnetic character and reduction properties of the solution are due to ammoniated electrons. (2) The conduetivity is due to both ammoniated electrons and ammoniated metal ions. (3) Evaporation of the solution in the absence of catalyst or impurities gives metal amides. (4) The conductivity of saturated solutions is normally equal to the metal dissolved in ammonia.
