Which of the following statement about solution of alkali metals in liquid ammonia is correct ?

AThe solution have strong oxidizing properties
BBoth the dil. solutions as well as conc. solution are equally paramagnetic in nature
CCharge transfer is responsible for the colour of the solution
DNone of these
Correct Answer

Solution

All are wrong. The solution has strong reducing nature and coloured due to ammoniated electron.

Hence, Option "D" is the correct answer.
