Color and Magnetism.

Chemistry Level pending

We have two bottles, both containing liquid ammonia at low temperatures.

We added different amount of Sodium metal to both the bottles.

We observed that substance in bottle-1 has deep blue color, while substance in bottle-2 has bronze color.

What can you say about the magnetic properties of the substance in each bottle.

Both bottles paramagnetic. Bottle-1 diamagnetic Bottle -2 paramagnetic. Bottle-1 paramagnetic Bottle-2 diamagnetic. Both bottles diamagnetic.

Well If Alkali Metals Are Dissolved In Liquid Ammonia Then They Give Beautiful Blue Colored Solutions Which Are Paramagnetic In Nature . The Color Arises Due To The Solvated Electrons . When We Add Excess Of Them The Color Changes To Bronze Color And Solution Becomes Diamagnetic.This Is Given Class XI NCERT
