relies upon on your direction and the reason of the instructor in asking the question. I coach chemistry and if I requested this way (deliberately writing H first) of question my reason might want to be to be sure in case you recognize the conventions of writing formula and may want to understand that ammonia is written as NH3. If it really is what your instructor develop into searching on your answer might want to be marked incorrect or given partial credit. in the experience that your instructor is in basic terms searching at your capacity to apply subscripts in a formula your answer might want to be marked maximum suitable.

what all i know is that, it is the convention... try to contact the person who name and made the chemical formula of the ammonia as such
also base on my knowledge on gen chem when writing a formula you usually write the symbol of the central atom first then the bonding elements will preceed it...

Nitrogen has 3 electron in the outermost orbit. To complete the outermost orbit either he can lose three electron or have five electron or borrow. It is easy to donate 3 electrons therefore its valency is +3, where hydrogen have one electron or lose one electron here is borrowing one electron It valency is negative. According to chemistry law first element is taken who have + valency and 2nd element who have -ve valency

Brandon said it ritely...central atom in the molecule is written first and in case of polar bonds the one which forms positive ions is written first

in bonds of molecules you usually have a central atom that is bonded onto by the surrounding atoms. in NH3 the nitrogen is the central atom bonded to three surrounding hydrogen atoms....SO the general rule is the atom that is being bonded to precedes the atom that is bonding to it

it would make it look like the L33t version of Hen... they may not hav wanted a laugh each time they saw ammonia

Nitrogen is male and hydrogen female.
