### Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs in Ammonia (NH3)

#### Question:
Which species are the conjugate acid and conjugate base of NH3?

#### Options:
- ○ NH4 and NH2
- ○ NH4+ and NH2
- ○ NH4 and NH2-
- ○ NH4+ and NH2-

---

This question aims to test your understanding of conjugate acid-base pairs related to ammonia (NH3). Recall that a conjugate acid is formed when a base gains a proton (H+), and a conjugate base is formed when an acid loses a proton. Given ammonia:

- NH3 (ammonia) can act as a base by accepting a proton to form its conjugate acid.
- NH3 can also act as an acid by donating a proton to form its conjugate base.

Review the options carefully, taking into account the changes in proton count for identifying the conjugate acid and base accurately.
