The way I see it,
NH3 is a base and once it enters water it gets a proton and become an acid, NH4.
Is this right?

none of you guys are answering my question..
let me re-phrase...
is one of the properties of a base that it is in solution?

NH3 is a weak base. Very few molecules of ammonia actually form the ammonium ion. And yes ammonium is the conjugate acid of ammonia.

NH3 (Ammonia) is a base. When it dissolves in water it becomes an alkaline solution.
Remember an alkali is a base that dissolves in water.

NH3 is not base to start with...
In a solution of what? Because if its dH2O then it doesnt change.
But if you were to say it it would be the first one

Ammonia is a basic gas. In solution it becomes ammonium hydroxide.
