Ammonia forms when nitrogen gas $(N_{2})$ $(N_"2")$ and hydrogen gas $(H_{2})$ $(H_"2")$ reacts.

Explanation:

The formula for ammonia is $N H_{3}$ $NH_"3"$ . Not to be confused with ammonium, which has a subscript of 4.

Ammonia forms when nitrogen gas $(N_{2})$ $(N_"2")$ and hydrogen gas $(H_{2})$ $(H_"2")$ reacts.

Chemical equation is a synthesis reaction:
$(N_{2})$ $(N_"2")$ + $3 (H_{2})$ $3(H_"2")$ $\to$ $->$ $(2 N H_{3})$ $(2NH_"3")$

In nature, ammonia is produced by the product of animal waste - urea + water $\to$ $->$ carbamine acid + ammonia. More information can be found here: Ammonia BMPs
