it has a positive (+) charge
hydrogen
Intra molecular bonds are covalent.Inter molecular bonds are Hydrogen.
they are covalently bonded
Because they wouldn't be balanced without three hydrogens. Nitrogen (N) has a charge of 3-, and Hydrogen (H) has a charge of 1+. With only two hydrogen atoms, the charge would be -1, not balanced.
No, NH3 is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. This is a chemical compound, made of two types of elements: Nitrogen and Hydrogen. In one molecule of this compound there are 4 atoms: 1 Nitrogen atom and three Hydrogen atoms.

NH3
Ammonia (NH3) involves an unequal sharing of electrons between nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. What type of bonding does ammonia have?
NH3 is its own compound.The elements in NH3 are nitrogen and hydrogen.
The ammonium ion forms when an ammonia molecule (NH3) takes a hydrogen ion (H+) either from an acid or from water. The positive charge on the hydrogen ion is taken over into the new ammonium ion.
NH3 is polar compound.There are hydrogen bonds.
No, hydrocarbons contain carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) NH3 is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen.
NH3 is a strong bond because it is capable of hydrogen bonding. when it comes to intermolecular forces (dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, and ion-dipole) hydrogen bonding is one of the strongest. Molecules containing Hydrogen atoms bonded with Flourine(ex-FH), Oxygen(ex-H2O), or Nitrogen(ex-NH3) are capable of hydrogen bonding because they are extremely polar. Even though the Nitrogen and Hydrogen atoms "share" atoms through covalent bonds, the electrons tend to hover closer to Nitrogen. This results in the Hydrogen atoms becoming partially positive in charge while the Nitrogen atom gains a partially negative charge. When a molecule of NH3 comes in contact with another molecule of NH3, the positive (Hydrogen) end of one molecule attracts the negative (Nitrogen) end of the other. This ability of the partially positive Hydrogen atoms to form strong bonds with other polar molecules (IE. Hydrogen Bonding) is why NH3 forms strong bonds.
When hydrogen combines with nitrogen, it forms ammonia gas (NH3).
