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.

Is NH3 a cation or an an anion?
Ammonia is neutral.
NH¾ is the formula for what common base?
NH3 is formula for a basic compound, Ammonia.NH4+ is formula for a basic cation, Ammonium.
What is an example of a Brønsted-Lowry base?
Brønsted-Lowry base is a species with the ability to gain, or "accept," a hydrogen cation (proton). NH3 is an example. H2O + NH3 <====> OH− + NH4+ "<====> here indicates reversible arrow"
What kind of bond is NH3?
NH3 has triple bond
Is ammonia positively or negatively charged?
1. Ammonia (NH3) is a neutral molecule. 2. Ammonium (NH4+) is a cation (a positive charged ion).

When NH3 dissolves in water it forms NH4OH?
Ammonium (cation): NH4+ Hydroxyl (anion): OH- It is incorrect to write NH4OH solution, because the solution is of ammonia (NH3) in water.

Is ammonia positively or negatively charged?
1. Ammonia (NH3) is a neutral molecule. 2. Ammonium (NH4+) is a cation (a positive charged ion).
Is ammonia and ammonium different?
Yes. ammonia is NH3, a gas under normal conditions. ammonium is the cation, NH4+ formed in aqueous solutions of ammonia.
Is Cr(NH3)6(NO3)3 is an element or compound?
Compound????
Is ammonia a weak or strong base?
Ammonia (NH3) is a weak base, it can 'pick up' an extra H+ ion to become a cation (NH41+).
Why are the cation samples repeatedly spotted and dried on the chromatographic paper?
The cation samples are spotted and dried several times to increase the amount of metal ion that is on the specific spot.
What is NH4 and how would it look?
NH4 is an ammonium cation (positively-charged molecular version of ammonia NH3) and it would look like this: H H N H H
What is ammonium?
Ammonium is the univalent NH4+ cation derived by the protonation of ammonia.
