Identify the chemical formula of ammonia, which is NH₃.
Recall that the sum of oxidation states in a neutral compound is zero.
Assign the oxidation state of hydrogen (H) as +1, since it is more electropositive than nitrogen.
Set up the equation for the sum of oxidation states: 3(+1) + x = 0, where x is the oxidation state of nitrogen.
Solve the equation for x to find the oxidation state of nitrogen in NH₃.
