The chemical formula NH3 represents ammonia, a compound consisting of one nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms. The statement "NH3 -- N plus H3" incorrectly separates the compound into its constituent elements, nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H), rather than recognizing them as chemically bonded within the ammonia molecule. This representation fails to acknowledge the covalent bonds between the nitrogen and hydrogen atoms in ammonia.

NH3 --> N + H3

N and H are diatomic, and H3 can't be formed, so balanced, it would be

2NH3 --> N2 + 3H2
