Is amonia polar?

1 ⤊

The extra two electrons in the outer shell will react(often by coordinatecovalent bonding) with other molecules. In this way nitrogen behave as a proton acceptors (base)

Yes, NH3 is polar. The 3 H atoms can be thought to stick downwards, with a lone pair of electrons at the top. The N atom is partially negatively charged, and the 3 x H atoms are ever so slightly positively charged.
