(D) When sodium metal dissolves in liquid ammonia,it undergoes ionization: $Na + (x+y)NH_3 \rightarrow [Na(NH_3)_x]^+ + [e(NH_3)_y]^-$. The blue color and the strong reducing property of the solution are due to the presence of ammoniated (solvated) electrons,$[e(NH_3)_y]^-$. These solvated electrons are highly reactive and act as powerful reducing agents.
