Answer:

Ammonia is a weak base because its nitrogen atom has an electron pair that readily accepts a proton. Also, when dissolved in water, ammonia acquires hydrogen ions from water to produce hydroxide and ammonium ions. It is the production of these hydroxide ions that imparts ammonia its characteristic basicity.
