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.
Hope it helps!

Answer:
Ammonia doesn't contain any hydroxide ions to begin with, but when it's dissolved in water it acquires hydrogen ions from the water to produce hydroxide as well as ammonium ions. However, ammonia doesn't fully convert into hydroxide and ammonium ions in a solution, which is why it is considered a weak base.
