Answer 1

(3)

Explanation:

Ammonia and its compounds generally do not occur naturally as minerals because ammonia is volatile and ammonium compounds are usually quite soluble in water. Therefore, the Assertion (A) is true.

Ammonia is actually highly soluble in water, so the Reason (R) is false.

Hence, A is true and R is false.
