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.

Why ammonium chloride is soluble soluble in liquid NH3?

Ammonium chloride is soluble in liquid NH3 because ammonia can act as a solvent for salts due to its ability to form ammonia complexes with the cation (NH4+) and anion (Cl-) of the salt. This solubility is attributed to the formation of ammonium and chloride ions in solution, allowing the salt to dissolve.
