Which feature of ammonia molecule leads to the formation of the ammonium ion when ammonia dissolves in water?
Ammonia molecule has one lone pair of electrons. It reacts with hydrogen ions of water to form ammonium ions by a covalent bond.
Ammonia molecule has one lone pair of electrons. It reacts with hydroxyl ions of water to form ammonium ions by a covalent bond.
Ammonia molecule has one lone pair of electrons. It reacts with hydrogen ions of water to form ammonium ions by a coordinate bond.
Ammonia molecule has one lone pair of electrons. It reacts with hydroxyl ions of water to form ammonium ions by a coordinate bond.
Ammonia molecule has one lone pair of electrons. It combines with hydroxyl ions of water to form ammonium ions through a coordinate bond.
Why ammonium ion contains a positive charge when hydrogen accepts lone pair of electrons from ammonia and forms coordinate bond .
By drawing an electron dot diagram, show the lone pair effect leading to the formation of ammonium ion from ammonia gas and hydrogen ion.
