Why is Water Blue!!
Chemistry
Level

When viewed in an extremely slow motion mode (in the order of picoseconds), the reaction between Sodium and water causes temporary blueness of water. Why is the water turning blue?
Due to hydrated electrons which are ejected because of the developed heat
There must be some impurity in the water
It is due to electron transition from one shell to the other
None of These

Due to the developed heat, the electrons are ejected as valence shell electrons are lighlty bound to the nucleus especially in S-Block elements. The electrons fall in water and get hydrated and hence, the temporary bluishness
