Statement- 1 . Alkali metals dissolved in liquid ammonia to give blue

1.	Statement- 1 . Alkali metals dissolved in liquid ammonia to give blue solutions . Statement- 2 . Alkali metals in liquid ammonia give solvated species of the type [M(NH_(3))_(n)]^(+) (M = alkali metals)
Answer» Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct EXPLANATION for statement-1. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False. Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True. SOLUTION :Correct explanation . The blue colour of the solution is DUE to ammoniated ELECTRONS , i.e., `e^(-) (NH_(3))_(X)`.
