how many acidic hydrogens are in ammonia

Chris21

my reply is none.... acidic hydrogen is a hydrogen liberated from an acid.

ammonia does not show any acidic behaviour in which even 1 H atom lets loose.

acidic hydrogen is that who is electron deficient.now it will be acidic when it is attached to highly electronegative

atom(like F,O or N). so acc. to it Nh3 should have 3 acidic Hydrogens.

Number of acidic hydrogen depends on the acid base reaction.
Only reaction where i know ammonia as base is
NH3 + M --> MNH2 + (1/2)H2
In this case number of acidic hydrogen is 1.
While in princliple it can have 3 acidic hydrogen i do not know any reaction where it gives three hydrogen

1 acidic hydrogen
