NH3 is a bronsted base. It has a lone pair.
NH3 is the conjugate base of NH4+
it can either be an acid or a base depending on its participation in the reaction. if it accepts H+ then it is a base and if it donates H+ then it is an acid..
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
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
Salt, although i dont believe this molecule exists. NH3 in water can attract a proton from a H2O molecule and form NH4+ + OH-. This is called ammoniumhydroxide (NH4OH). Since the ammonia creates an OH- it is a base and the NH4+ is its conjegated acid.
NH3 is the conjugate base of NH4+
Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is a base. The cation (NH4)+ is low acidic.
acid ( {NH4}+ )
NH4+ is NH3's conjugate acid. NH3 accepts H+ to become a Bronsted-Lowry base.

it is an acidic salt due to NH4+ ions being weak acid (pKa=9.2)
Ammonia NH3 behaves as a base when it reacts with an acid because it accepts a proton and becomes NH4+.
An example would be 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+.
