All alkali metal dissolve in liquid ammonia giving deep blue solutions which are conducting in nature. These solutions contain ammoniated cations and ammoniated electrons as shown below:
M + ( x...
Cation- It is the positively charged ion, e.g., Na+ which is attracted towards cathode (negative electrode) in an electric field.
Anion – It is the negatively charged ion, e.g., Cl- which...
The dilute solutions of alkali metals in liquid ammonia exhibit dark blue color because ammoniated electrons absorb energy corresponding the red region of the visible light. However, If the concentration...
