Color of solution of ammonia and alkaline earth metals is due to the presence of:
Ammoniated electrons
Ammoniated ions
Both a and b
None of these
As we learnt,
Solubility of alkaline metals in liquid ammonia -
Alkaline earth metals dissolve in liquid ammonia to form coloured solutions. Dilute solutions are bright blue in colour due to solvated electrons..
- wherein
M + (x + 2y)NH3 → [M(NH3)x]2+ + 2[e−(NH3)y]−
So correct option is 1.
