This molecule (ammonia) is neutral.
Nitrogen can covalently bond to three other atoms where as hydrogen can covalently bond to one other atom. Therefore, nitrogen can covalently bond with three hydrogen atoms to form ammonia. As all electrons are charge balanced by the protons, the molecule is neutral.

NH3 +H2O -> NH4+ + OH-
The production of OH- in this reaction means that ammonia is a base.
Ammonia (pure liquid ammonia) undergoes auto- ionisation

Is ammonium hydroxide ionic or molecular?
Ammonium hydroxide is an ionic compound. However, both ions in the compound have covalent bonds inside them. Solid ammonium hydroxide does not exist, it is only found in solution and is formed when NH3 is dissolved. NH3(aq) + H2O <-> NH4+ +OH-
Write molecular total ionic net ionic equations for NH3 plus HC2H3O2?
Molecular Eq HC2H3O2(aq) + NH3(aq) -> NH4+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq) Ionic Eq H+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq) + NH3(aq) -> NH4+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq) Net Ionic Eq H+(aq) + NH3(aq) -> NH4+(aq)
Is NH3 is a ionic bond or a covalent bond?
i think NH3 Is just the co-valent bond. It is formed by bonding between three hydrogen atom which are slightly positively charged and a single atom of nitrogen which is negatively charge .
Is NH3 a cation?
NH3 is not a cation - it is polar but uncharged. however, when NH3 is dissolved in water, it forms NH4+ and OH-, and NH4 is a cation.
Does NH3 contain both ionic and covalent bonds?
No, NH3 contains only covalent bonds.

No, NH3 contains only covalent bonds.
Is ionic solutions poor conductors of electricity?
(in short) No, whilst in their solid state ionic crystals are very poor conductors of electricity, however when molten or dissolved their ions are able to carry charge, therefore they are very good conductors of electricity when molten or dissolved in e.g. water. Pure water is a very poor electrical conductor too, it's the dissolved ions that carry the charge.
Is NH3 ionic or polar covalent?
polar covalent
What type of charge does hydrogen have in NH3?
it has a positive (+) charge
Is nh3 is a substances is at least likely to be ionic or caf2 or na2o or mgbr2?
which of the following substances is least likely to be ionic : a) nh3 b) caf2 c) na2o )mg br2
What is the ionic equation for HNO3 plus Nh3--NH4NO3?
Yes, you are right.
Is NH3 ionic or covalent and why?
Covalent because they share electrons
