No. Ammonia has the chemical formula NH3. However, when dissolved in water ammonia will form small amounts of ammonium hydroxide.
NH3 + H2O --> NH4OH

Does a solution of ammonia contain mostly ammonia molecules or mostly ammonium ions and hydroxide ions?
It contains more ammonia molecules because ammonia is only a weak base.
Does ammonia dissolve in water?
Yes, ammonia dissolves in water to form ammonium ions NH4+ or ammonium hydroxide NH4OH Yes, ammonia dissolves in water to form ammonium ions NH4+ or ammonium hydroxide NH4OH
What contain a positive charge hydronium ions hydroxide ions electrons or neutrons?
Hydronium Ions
Does a acid solution contain more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions?
The answer's simple: NO.
Why is Sodium hydroxide a stronger base than Ammonia?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) forms sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide ions (OH-), when dissolved in water (H2O). Ammonia (NH3), in comparison, has the capacity to combine with a hydrogen ion (H+) to form the ammonium ion (NH4+), and in so doing, is making the solution more basic. But not every ammonia molecule will do this, it is not as strong a tendency as that of sodium hydroxide to release hydroxide ions. The pH level is a direct measurement of the relative concentrations of hydrogen ions as compared to hydroxide ions.

Does a base contain hydroxide ion or produce it in a solution?
Some bases, such as sodium and potassium hydroxides, contain hydroxide ions even in solid form. Others, such as ammonia, produce hydroxide in solution but do not contain any such ions when in pure form.
Does ammonia dissolve in water?
Yes, ammonia dissolves in water to form ammonium ions NH4+ or ammonium hydroxide NH4OH Yes, ammonia dissolves in water to form ammonium ions NH4+ or ammonium hydroxide NH4OH
Does water dissolve ammonia?
Yes, ammonia dissolves in water to form ammonium ions NH4+ or ammonium hydroxide NH4OH Yes, ammonia dissolves in water to form ammonium ions NH4+ or ammonium hydroxide NH4OH
Is zinc hydroxide is soluble in ammonium hydroxide?
Yes.Zinc hydroxide contains Zn2+ ions which dissolves in ammonia as Zn(NH3)n2+ complex ions, with n=2, 4 or 6
What contain a positive charge hydronium ions hydroxide ions electrons or neutrons?
Hydronium Ions
Is ammoria acid or base?
Ammonia combines with water to form ammonium hydroxide. It is basic in nature as it liberates hydroxide ions.
What ions do most basic compounds contain?
Hydroxide (OH-)
Does a acid solution contain more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions?
The answer's simple: NO.
Difference between acid and alkaline?
Acids contain hydrogen ions (H+) while alkalines contain hydroxide ions (OH-).
Why is Sodium hydroxide a stronger base than Ammonia?

Do bases contain hydroxide ions?
Generally hydroxide ions (in the case of inorganic bases) or nitrogen atoms with a lone pair (in the case of organic bases).
