Question

${\text{NH}}_3$ cannot release ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions. It is .

• A. a base
• B. an acid
• C. neutral

Answer 1

The correct option is A a base

According to Bronsted- Lowry theory, acids donate protons and bases accept protons. Even though ${\text{NH}}_3$ cannot release ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions, it can accept protons. So, ${\text{NH}}_3$ is a base.
