प्रश्न
Give reason for the following:
Ammonia is unionised in the gaseous state but in the aqueous solution, it is a weak electrolyte.
उत्तर
Ammonia is a covalent compound. Therefore, it is unionised in the gaseous state, but in the aqueous solution, it gives NH4OH, a weak electrolyte that dissociates into ions.
