Question

NH3 doesn't contain hydroxide then why it is a base

Answer 1

Hey mate

Ammonia when dissolved in water it forms ammonium hydroxide.

Ammonium hydroxide redily ionizes to form ammonium ions (NH4+) and hydroxide ions
(OH-). Thus the solution ammonia is considered as a base.

Hope you understand

Thanks

When ammonia is dissolved in water it forms ammonium hydroxide . This ammonium hydroxide dissociates into ammonium ions and [OH-] ions . So it is called a base.
