What is the conjugate base of NH2-?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the conjugate base of the ammonium ion (NH₂⁻). To answer it, we need to determine what species results when NH₂⁻ acts as a base and accepts a proton (H⁺).
Answer
NH2-
The conjugate base of NH2- is NH2- itself.
Answer for screen readers
The conjugate base of NH2- is NH2- itself.
More Information
NH2- is already a base, and there is no further proton to remove. Conjugate bases are formed by removing a hydrogen ion (proton) from the corresponding acid.
