    Explanation:

    Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base and not a strong base.

    What is a base?

    A base is any substance that interacts with water to produce or yield excess hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution.

    A strong base is one that ionizes completely in solution. Most strong bases are hydroxides of alkali and alkaline earth metals.

    A weak base is one that partially or slightly ionizes in an aqueous solution.

    Such is ammonium hydroxide;

    NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

    In the ionization of a weak base, the process results in an equilibrium reaction.
