The solutions of alkali metals in ammonia are fascinating! Its especially interesting to watch the metal dendrites grow as the solution evaporates. Each metal has different characteristics. Sodium and potassium grow quickly, but the crystals are not particularly sharp. With lithium the crystals grow slowly, but are very sharp and long! Calcium doesnt form crystals but grows like a stalagmite (slowly)!
In this video the electride solution can also be seen jumping all over the place (in the eye part of the video). Im pretty convinced that this is related to the coulombic explosion that drives the explosion of alkali metals in water. However....while thats an interesting idea, I cant prove any of it yet!
