Ammonia is the combination of Nitrogen and Hydrogen. also is N2 + 3H2 => 2NH3.
Hope this helps! :D

Answer : The products formed on the decomposition of ammonia are, hydrogen gas
(H_2)
and nitrogen gas
(N_2).

Explanation :

Decomposition reaction : It is defined as the chemical reaction in which the larger molecules decomposes to give two or more smaller molecules.

When the ammonia
(NH_3) decomposes then it gives hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,


2NH_3\rightarrow 3H_2+N_2

In this reaction,
NH_3 is the reactant and
H_2 and
N_2 are the products.

By the stoichiometry we can say that 2 moles of ammonia decomposes to give 3 moles of hydrogen gas and 1 mole of nitrogen gas as a product.

Therefore, the products formed on the decomposition of ammonia are, hydrogen gas
(H_2) and nitrogen gas
(N_2).
