Solution of sodium metals in liquid ammonia strongly reduces due to the presence in which of the following solution

Options

(a) Sodium hydride
(b) Sodium amide
(c) Solvated electrons
(d) Sodium atoms

Correct Answer:

Solvated electrons

Explanation:

The solution of sodium metals in liquid ammonia strongly reduces due to the presence of the metal ions in the solution and the solvated electrons because the presence of ammoniated cations and ammoniated electrons, these solutions conduct electricity. They are used as powerful reducing agents.
