Ammonia (NH₃)

Ammonia (NH₃) is a colorless, pungent gas composed of one nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms. It is naturally found in the environment and is produced industrially for use in fertilizers, cleaning products, and manufacturing. Ammonia is highly soluble in water, forming a strong alkaline solution. It plays a vital role in agriculture by providing essential nutrients to crops. However, it can be toxic and irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system if not handled properly. Its distinctive smell is often associated with household cleaning agents and agricultural processes.
