If the valency of hydrogen is 1 and that of nitrogen is 3, work out the formula for ammonia.


Valency of hydrogen = 1
Valency of nitrogen = 3
Ammonia consists of nitrogen and hydrogen.
Elements  : N           H
Valency     : 3            1
Formula for ammonia can be worked out by crossing the valency of the constituent elements.
Therefore, the formula of ammonia is NH3.
