All alkali metal dissolve in liquid ammonia giving highly conducting deep blue solutions.These solutions contain ammoniated cations and ammoniated electrons as shown below:
M + ( x + y ) NH3 → M+ ( NH3 )x + e-(NH3)y
Dilute solutions of alkali metals in liquid ammonia are dark blue in colour but as the concentration increases above 3 M, the colour changes to copper-bronze and the solutions acquire metallic lustre due to formation of metal ion clusters.
