Hello,

 start with electronic configuration , and see how many electrons each nitrogen shares with hydrogen.
remember the formula ( NH4OH).

just to remind you...........
the use of the term "ammonium hydroxide" is incorrect because such a chemical compound is not isolatable. However, this term does give a fair description of how an ammonia solution behaves. Aqueous ammonia is readily available from chemical supply houses in concentrations of about 30 %. Some household cleaning solutions may consist of dilute solutions of ammonia as well.
