No.
In NH3 there are 3 hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen; the compound is called ammonia it carries no charge.
In NH4 there are 4 hydrogen atoms; it's called the ammonium ion
it carries a 1+ charge and is found accompanied by a negative ion.

NH3 is a compound.
NH4+ is an ion.
NH4 doesn't exist, to the best of my knowledge.

∙ 14y agoNH3 is a gas : ammonia gas ... when dissolved in water it gives the NH4+ ion :ammonium ion.. according to this equation
NH3 + H2O --> NH4+ + HO-

∙ 13y agoNH4 is not a substance but exists as the NH4+ ion
this ion is formed when NH3 reacts with an acid.

NH2- is the conjugate base of ammonia.
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.
No, Ammonia is NH3. NH4 is Ammonium.
NH4+
NH3 is the conjugate base of NH4+

No, Ammonia is NH3. NH4 is Ammonium.
NH4+ is NH3's conjugate acid. NH3 accepts H+ to become a Bronsted-Lowry base.
NH4+
NH4+(aq) The (aq) means 'aqueous' which means that it is in solution - if you're not using state symbols don't put this in.It is NH4+
NH3 is the conjugate base of NH4+
The first thing is that your question is flawed. Ammonia is NH3, not NH4. NH4 is ammonium, which takes on an extra Hydrogen atom. That said, the Ammonium atom can certainly be written as H4N as well as the ore common NH4.
NH3
Yes, ammonia NH3 is alkaline in solution (though weakly):NH3 + H2O
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
