This molecule (ammonia) is neutral.

Nitrogen can covalently bond to three other atoms where as hydrogen can covalently bond to one other atom. Therefore, nitrogen can covalently bond with three hydrogen atoms to form ammonia. As all electrons are charge balanced by the protons, the molecule is neutral.

Is NH3 ionic or polar covalent?

NH3 is a polar covalent molecule. It is formed by sharing electrons between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, resulting in a partial positive charge on hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the nitrogen atom.


Is ammonium hydroxide ionic or molecular?

Ammonium hydroxide is an ionic compound. However, both ions in the compound have covalent bonds inside them. Solid ammonium hydroxide does not exist, it is only found in solution and is formed when NH3 is dissolved. NH3(aq) + H2O <-> NH4+ +OH-


Does ionic compounds conduct in electricity?

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are dissolved in water or melted, allowing the ions to move and carry electric charge. Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are fixed in place and unable to move to carry charge.

What are NH3 and H2S in equilibrium with when dissolved in water?

NH3 is in equilibrium with NH4+ and H2S is in equilibrium with HS- when dissolved in water.


Is NH3 a cation?

No, NH3 is not a cation. NH3 is the chemical formula for ammonia, which is a neutral molecule composed of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms. Cations are ions with a positive charge due to losing electrons, while ammonia is not an ion.


Is ionic solutions poor conductors of electricity?

(in short) No, whilst in their solid state ionic crystals are very poor conductors of electricity, however when molten or dissolved their ions are able to carry charge, therefore they are very good conductors of electricity when molten or dissolved in e.g. water. Pure water is a very poor electrical conductor too, it's the dissolved ions that carry the charge.


What is the ionic compound name for NH3?

Oh, dude, NH3 is actually not an ionic compound, it's ammonia. See, NH3 is a covalent compound because it's made up of nonmetals bonding together. So, it's like the cool kid in chemistry that doesn't follow the rules of ionic bonding.


What is the charge of the NH3 ligand in coordination complexes?

The NH3 ligand in coordination complexes typically has a charge of 0.


Is NH3 is a ionic bond or a covalent bond?

NH3 has a covalent bond. The bond between nitrogen and hydrogen in NH3 is a covalent bond, where atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between a metal and a non-metal.


When can an a ionic compound conduct electricity?

An ionic compound can conduct electricity when it is in a molten state or when it is dissolved in water, allowing the ions to move freely and carry an electric charge. In these states, the ions are able to flow and transmit electric current.
