The mobility of metal ions in aqueous medium $$\left( {L{i^ + },N{a^ + },{K^ + },R{b^ + }} \right)$$ in the electric field, follows the order
Down the group with decrease in positive charge tendency to get hydrated decreases and hence the size of hydrated ion decreases. Thus mobility increases.

The following two figures represent
A
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is a dimer in vapour phase ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is chain structure in solid state
B
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is in solid state ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is in vapour phase
C
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is monomer in solid state ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is linear polymer in vapour phase
D
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is linear monomer ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is three dimensional dimer.
Answer :
$$\left( {\text{i}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is a dimer in vapour phase ; $$\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)BeC{l_2}$$ is chain structure in solid state
(i) is a dimer $$BeC{l_2}$$ in vapour phase.
(ii) is a chain structure of $$BeC{l_2}$$ in solid state.

The correct order of the mobility of the alkali metal ions in aqueous solution is
The correct order of the mobility of the alkali metal ions in aqueous solution is $$R{b^ + } > {K^ + } > N{a^ + } > L{i^ + }$$ due to following order of hydration energy of these ions $$L{i^ + } > N{a^ + } > {K^ + } > R{b^ + }$$ and as the hydration of ion increases, mobility decreases.
$${\text{Hydration enthalpy}} \propto \frac{1}{{{\text{Size of cation}}}}$$

When sodium is dissolved in liquid ammonia, a solution of deep blue colour is obtained. The colour of the solution is due to
A
ammoniated electron
B
sodium ion
C
sodium amide
D
ammoniated sodium ion
Answer :
ammoniated electron
The blue colour of the solution is due to the ammoniated electron which absorbs energy in the visible region of light and thus imparts blue colour to the solution.
$$M + \left( {x + y} \right)N{H_3} \to $$ $${\left[ {M{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_x}} \right]^ + } + {\left[ {e{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_y}} \right]^ - }$$
