Ammonia is a chemical compound with the formula NH3. It is a colorless, strong-smelling, alkaline gas.

Ammonium is a polyatomic ion with the formula NH4+. It forms as a result of ammonia reacting with an acid and in small amounts when ammonia dissolves in water. As the conjugate acid of a weak base, the ion is weakly acidic.
