Answer:
1)NH3(Ammonia) is a covalent compound. In NH3 hydrogen can form 1 covalent bond while nitrogen can form 3 covalent bonds. As nitrogen and hydrogen both are non metallic compounds and does not have tendency to donate their electron, so 'Ammonia' cannot be a ionic compound.
2)Oxidising properties are due to nascent oxygen which it gives on decomposition. 2HNO3(dil.)》》on heating》》2NO+H20+3[O]. Nitric acid is a powerful oxidizing agent and the nascent oxygen formed on decomposition oxidizes hydrogen to water.
