When alkali metals react with ammonia, they form metal amides and hydrogen gas. The reaction is highly exothermic, releasing a significant amount of heat. The metal amides are ionic compounds, and the overall reaction is generally more vigorous than the corresponding reactions with water.

Why alkali metals give deep blue colour when react with ammonia liquid?

Alkali metals react with ammonia liquid to form metal amides and ammoniated electrons. These ammoniated electrons are responsible for absorbing energy from visible light, leading to a deep blue color in the solution. This phenomenon is known as charge transfer complexes.

Which metals does not react with water?

Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
