Solvated electrons are involved in the reaction of alkali metals with water, even though the solvated electron has only a fleeting existence. Below pH = 9.6 the hydrated electron reacts with the hydronium ion giving atomic hydrogen, which in turn can react with the hydrated electron giving hydroxide ion and usual molecular hydrogen H.
Solvated electrons can be found even in the gas phase. This implies their possible existence in the upper atmosphere of Earth and involvement in nucleation and aerosol formation.
Its standard electrode potential value is -2.77 V. The equivalent conductivity of 177 Mho cm is similar to that of hydroxide ion. This value of equivalent conductivity corresponds to a diffusivity of 4.75  cms.
