What is the general formula of halide salts of alkali metals if $M$ is a metal atom and $X$ is a halogen atom?

Which of the following elements does not form an amide when reacted with ammonia?

Comment on each of the following observations:
$(a)$ The mobilities of the alkali metal ions in aqueous solution are $Li^{+} < Na^{+} < K^{+} < Rb^{+} < Cs^{+}$
$(b)$ Lithium is the only alkali metal to form a nitride directly.
$(c)$ The standard electrode potential $E^{\circ}$ for the reaction $M^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^{-} \to M_{(s)}$ (where $M = Ca, Sr$ or $Ba$) is nearly constant.

For alkali metals, which one of the following trends is incorrect?

The reaction of zinc with an excess of aqueous alkali evolves hydrogen gas and gives:

When a metal of group $1$ was dissolved in liquid ammonia,the following observations were obtained :
$(a)$ Blue solution was obtained initially.
$(b)$ On concentrating the solution,the blue colour changed to bronze colour.
How do you account for the blue colour of the solution? Give the name of the product formed on keeping the solution for some time.
