Ammonia

Build a space filling model of Ammonia using Genuine Molymod Atoms & Bonds by Indigo

What is Ammonia?

Ammonia is a colorless gas with a distinctly pungent smell and is composed of just one nitrogen and 3 hydrogen atoms. It is a simple inorganic compound that is a building block of a vast array of chemicals ranging from amino acids, nucleotides, fertilizers and cleaning agents.

Because ammonia is a very small molecule, it can actually find its way through holes that are not big enough for water to pass. Read more about some of ammonia's uses in our blog on Ammonia Gas Leak Detection.

You can go directly to our Ammonia Leak Detector Cloth used for testing gloveboxes & other leak sensitive devices. Or, see either our semi-quantitative ammonia test strip or the strictly qualitative ammonia refrigerant gas leak test strip. 


A molecular model of Ammonia in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
