Overview
Ammonia is a simple nitrogen-hydrogen compound that bridges chemistry, biology, and psionics across the Continuum Universes. It exists naturally as a gas, condenses into a caustic liquid under moderate pressure, and dissolves in water to form ammonium hydroxide — a reactive alkaline solution. To the divine chemists, ammonia represents *the scent of creation itself*: the raw exhalation of matter becoming life.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Ammonia is a polar molecule with a trigonal pyramidal geometry. Its lone electron pair makes it a strong base and ligand, readily accepting protons to form ammonium (NH₄⁺). The gas is lighter than air and highly soluble, forming a mildly caustic solution that reacts with acids and many salts. Under psionic induction, ammonia can stabilize neural resonance fields — a property exploited in Lucidmist Atmosphere consciousness stabilization arrays.
Phases
Gaseous Ammonia
Colorless, pungent, and alkaline, it dominates Flatus-Prime Atmosphere atmospheres and the upper layers of gas giants. Gaseous ammonia acts as both coolant and biosynthetic precursor for nitrogen-based life forms.
Liquid Ammonia
Condenses at −33 °C under 1 atm or moderate compression. Liquid ammonia serves as an excellent nonaqueous solvent, supporting alternative biochemistries and low-temperature metabolic reactions on cold Continuum worlds.
Aqueous Ammonia
When dissolved in water, ammonia forms *ammonium hydroxide* — a weak base used industrially in fertilizers, cleaners, and divine laboratories. It is central to planetary nitrogen cycling and the regeneration of psionic matter in dream ecosystems.
Uses and Occurrences
- Base reagent for Hydrazine fuels and divine synthesis.
- Found in cryogenic lakes and Flatus-Prime Atmosphere atmospheres.
- Serves as nitrogen source for Permian-Like Atmosphere biospheres.
- Used in divine agriculture for soil rebirth rites.
Related Atmospheres
Trivia
- Known as “The Breath of Genesis” in divine alchemy.
- Some Continuum biologists theorize early ammonia oceans may have incubated psionic proteins before water-based life emerged.
