Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry, acids are the species that donate protons or (H^{+}).

For example, HCl is a Bronsted-Lowry acid as it releases protons upon dissociation.

                   HCl \rightarrow H^{+} + Cl^{-}

On the other hand, species that take up or accept a protons or (H^{+}) are known as Bronsted-Lowry base.

For example, NH_{3} + H^{+} \rightarrow NH^{+}_{4}

Therefore, NH_{3} is a Bronsted-Lowry base as it accepts a proton.
