Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Na and excess of NH3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A) sodium (Na) when dissolved in excess liquid ammonia, forms a blue coloured paramagnetic solution.
B) \(\text K +\text O _2 \longrightarrow \underset{\text { (potassium superoxide) }}{\text{KO} _2}\) and \(\text{KO} _2\) is paramagnetic.
C) \(3\text{Cu} +\underset{\text { (dilute) }}{8 \text{HNO} _3} \longrightarrow 3 \text{Cu} \left(\text{NO} _3\right)_2+2 \text{NO}\) \(+~4\text H _2\text O\)
Where "NO" is paramagnetic.
