    B)  lead

    C)  sodium            

    D)  silver

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Alkali metals dissolve in liquid \[N{{H}_{3}}\] to give deep blue coloured solution. \[M+\underset{excess}{\mathop{N{{H}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}{{M}^{+}}{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{x}}+{{e}^{-}}\underset{ammoniated\,electron}{\mathop{{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{x}}}}\,\] The blue colour of the solution is due to the ammoniated electrons.
