Ammonia forms the complex ion [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺ with copper ions in alkaline solutions but not in acidic solution. What is the reason for it?

1. In acidic solutions hydration protects copper ions

2. In acidic solutions protons coordinate with ammonia molecules forming ions and $N{H}_3$ molecules are not available

3. In alkaline solutions insoluble $Cu{\left(OH\right)}_2$ is precipitated which is soluble in excess of any alkali

4. Copper hydroxide is an amphoteric substance

4. d⁵ (in strong ligand field)
