Definition and Area of Use:
It is a colorless gas compound with a sharp and unpleasant odor, consisting of nitrogen atoms and hydrogen atoms. Although it does not contain OH- ions, it has weak base properties.
Ammonia is a covalently bonded (nonmetal + nonmetal) compound. Since its molecules are polar, it is highly soluble in water. Ammonia molecules form weak hydrogen bonds with water molecules as well as with each other. Therefore, it is very soluble in water.
Since it has a pair of unbonded electrons, its molecule shape is a triangular pyramid, so it is a polar molecule. Its latent heat of gasification is very high, so it is also used as a refrigerant in industrial facilities. At room conditions, the saturated ammonia solution is 34% and its density is 0.88 g/ ml.
