Ammonia is a compound of hydrogen and nitrogen, with formula NH3. Under normal circumstances it is a very toxic gas. It is a common precursor for many chemical products, particularly fertilizers and explosives. What you buy in the store as "ammonia" is a very dilute solution of ammonia in water. When dissolved in water, it forms a very alkaline solution (it is actually ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH) that is an excellent solvent for non-polar molecules like oils. It doesn't leave a residue behind, since both the components can evaporate completely. That's what makes it such a good glass cleaner.

What is the difference between ammonia and anhydrous ammonia and ammonium hydroxide?
Anhydrous ammonia is really just ammonia in fact. "Anhydrous" means without water, and anhydrous ammonia is just pure ammonia without water.It is to distinguish it from ammonia in water solutions because when added to water ammonia forms ammonium hydroxide:NH3 + H2O ---> NH4+ + OH-Ammonium hydroxide is frequently referred to as ammonia because you make it by adding ammonia to water, but it isn't really ammonia. It is much more commonly though because it is easier to handle (ammonia is a gas).See the Web Links for more information about ammonia.
