Alkali metals readily dissolve in liquid ammonia to give blue coloured solutions. The blue colour is believed to be due to

Assertion Alkaline earth metals dissolve in liquid ammonia to give a blue-black coloured solution. The blue-black colour of the solution is due to the presence of ammoniated electrons.

Statement 1 : Sodium metal dissolves in liquid ammonia to form a blue coloured solution. Statement 2 : The blue solution is a good conductor of electricity.

Assertion (A): Caesium metal when dissolved in liquid amtmonia forms a blue-coloured solution. Reason(R ): The blue solution is a good conductor of electricity.

When sodium metal is dissolved in liquid ammonia, blue colour solution is formed. The blue colour is due to

All alkali metals dissolve in anhydrous liquid ammonia to give blue colour solution. It is the ammoniated electron which is reponsible for the blue colour of the solution, and the electrical conductivity is due to the ammoniated cation, [M(NH_(3))_(x)]^(+) as well as the ammoniated electron, [e(NH_(3))_(y)]^(-) , value of x and y depend on the extent of solvation by NH_(3) . Dilute solutions are paramagnetic due to free ammoniated electrons. Q. Which of the following statement about solution of alkali metals in liquid ammonia is correct?

When the alkaline earth metals such as Ca,Sr,Ba are dissolved in liquid ammonia, deep blue coloured solution is obtained. What are the important properties of this solution?
