To answer the question, pure ammonia has a density of ~0.7-0.9 g/L, depending on temperature. The density of air is ~1.2 g/L, again depending on temperature and pressure. So, yes, ammonia gas is "lighter" than air in terms of density.

Why ammonia gas is collected in an inverted gas jar?
Ammonia is collected in inverted gas jar because it is lighter than air.
Is ammonia less dense than air?
yes
Are warm air masses lighter than cold air masses?
Warm air masses are lighter than cold air masses because the molecules of cold air move slower than the warm air's molecules.
What happens when you mix ammonia and lighter fluid?
What most people call "ammonia" is actually a solution of what chemists call ammonia in water. If you mix household ammonia with lighter fluid, they won't mix. Lighter fluid is probably (mostly) butane, which is not exactly miscible with water. I'm not actually positive whether it's miscible with "real" ammonia or not in the liquid state, but I doubt it; ammonia is polar and butane is not.
Why does hydrogen rise in air?
this happens because hydrogen is lighter than air
Why ammonia gas is collected in an inverted gas jar?

No, ammonia is less dense than air.
Why was the airplane harder to invent than the hot air balloon?
The balloon is lighter than air.
Why does ammonia travel faster than a hydrochloric acid?
Because ammonia is lighter thus it travels faster
Is ammonia heavier than air?
Ammonia (NH3), as used commercially, is often called anhydrous ammonia. This term emphasizes the absence of water in the material.Anhydrous ammonia gas is lighter than air and will rise, so that generally it dissipates and does not settle in low-lying areas. However, in the presence of moisture (such as high relative humidity), the liquefied anhydrous ammonia gas forms vapors that are heavier than air. These vapors may spread along the ground or into low-lying areas with poor airflow where people may become exposed.
Is ammonia more dense or less dense than air?
Yes ammonia is less dense than air
