Ammonia

Overview

Ammonia is a pungent, alkaline gas central to nitrogen-based biochemistry and atmospheric regulation. On Continuum worlds, it marks both life’s synthesis and decay — the odor of creation’s workshop.

Properties

Ammonia is polar and strongly basic, forming ammonium ions (NH₄⁺) in aqueous solution. In psionic conditions, it acts as a buffer medium for consciousness-linked proteins, sustaining biochemical resonance.

Uses and Occurrences

Used in fertilizers, refrigeration systems, and as a feedstock for Hydrazine fuels. Ammonia-rich Flatus-Prime worlds serve as laboratories for extremophile evolution.

Trivia

• Ammonia is symbolically tied to renewal in divine alchemy—where creation’s odor masks its decay.
• Early Continuum chemists discovered ammonia frost inside dormant dream vaults.
