M +( x + y ) NH 3 arrow M +( NH 3) x ++ e -( NH 3) y Ammoniated electrons are the responsible for the formation of bluce colour solution

Q. When sodium is dissolved in liquid ammonia, a solution of deep blue colour is obtained. The colour of the solution is due to

Ammoniated electron

sodium ion

Sodium amide

Ammoniated sodium ion

$M + (x + y) N H_{3} \to M^{+} (N H_{3})_{x}^{+} + e^{-} (N H_{3})_{y}$ Ammoniated electrons are the responsible for the formation of bluce colour solution
