Best Answer

NH3(ammonia) is a polar molecule.  The molecular structure is trigonal pyramidal, which makes the nitrogen stick out from the hydrogen.  This causes H2O(also polar) to attract itself to the ammonia, hydrogen with nitrogen and oxygen with hydrogen.  This attraction, called hydrogen bonding, gives NH3 its water-soluble property.
