Solution

Ammonia gas does not contain ions to conduct electricity while aqueous solution of ammonia i.e. ammonium hydroxide conducts electricity because insolution stage it has ions to move. Ammonium hydroxide is a weak electrolyte. Weak electrolytes incompletely dissociate to form ions in solution
