    shweta see when alkali metal cations is dissolved in liq Nh3 it forms ammoniated cations and ammoniated anions the ammoniated electrons absorbs energy from visible region and emits blue colour...when concentration increases the solution change to copper bronze color and solution becomes diamagnetic...as concentration increases more and more ammoniated electrons so they form metal clusters complex and group together and changes from paramagnetic to diamagnetic...
