When a highly pure dilute solution of sodium comes in contact with ammonia, it releases electrons.
When sodium dissolves in liquid ammonia, it forms a deep blue-coloured solution. This blue color is a distinctive feature of this type of solution and can be used to identify its presence.
\(Na + NH_3 \rightarrow Na^+ + _{Solvated\, \, electron}^{\, \, \, NH_3(e^-)}\)
Therefore, a highly pure dilute solution of sodium in liquid ammonia shows blue color and exhibits electrical conductivity.
Both Options A and B are correct
