Answer: Triple hydrogens, but one nitrogen atom make up ammonia. As a result, NH3 is the chemical formula for ammonia. Ammonia has four atoms in total.

The amount of ammonia produced for commercial use worldwide in 2018 was 175 million tonnes, essentially unchanged from the 175 million tonnes produced in 2013. In 2021, this amounted to 235 million tonnes, with hardly any produced domestically. Commercial ammonia is often sold as ammonia liquor (28 per cent ammonia in water), which is transported in tank cars, canisters, or as pressured or chilled anhydrous liquid ammonia.
