The conjugate acid of any substance is given by removing an acidic hydrogen. In the case of ammonium ion, the conjugate base is ammonia.
NH3 is the conjugate base of NH4+
NH2- is the conjugate base of ammonia.
NH4+
well NH3 is a base that reacts with H2O to get NH4 + OH- NH3+ H2O-->NH4+ + OH- A conjugate base is the species formed when a Bronsted- Lowry base accepts a proton. NH4+ is the conjugate acid of NH3
'Conjugate' means ONE proton more (acid) or less (base) than the described acid or base respectively:So the conjugate acid of ammonia (NH3) is the ammonium cation NH4+.

NH2- is the conjugate base of ammonia.
NH4+
NH4+ is NH3's conjugate acid. NH3 accepts H+ to become a Bronsted-Lowry base.

NH3 + H20 <----> NH4+ + OH- Ammonia is a weak base so it is the favored side of the equilbrium. Conjugate acid and base pairs only differ by a proton. So ammonia and ammonium are pairs and water and hydroxide ions are pairs. NH4+ + CN- <-------> HCN + NH3
Among these NH3 is the weakest base so strongest conjugate acid would be NH4+ ion.
IN this reaction the conjugate base is the nitrate ion, NO3-
They are the products of an acid-base reaction (by the Bronsted-Lowry definition). A conjugate base is what is left when an acid loses a proton (H+), for example the conjugate base of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is the bisulfate ion (HSO4-). A conjugate acid is the product of a base gaining a proton, for example the conjugate acid of ammonia (NH3) is the ammonium ion (NH4+).
An acid base pair which differ from each other by a single proton(H+ ion) is called a conjugate pair. Eg. Acid Base HCl Cl- NH3 NH4+ H2O H3O+
