Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ammonia is a base as it accepts hydrogen ions (protons) from its surrounding solution. B isotope is incorrect as it refers to a different concept - atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. C salt is also incorrect as it is a compound formed from the reaction of an acid with a base, and NH₃ is not a salt. D acid is incorrect as ammonia is not donating H⁺ ions to a solution but accepting them.
