NH3 is a compound, not an element. It does not have an atomic number. If you mean the number of atoms in the molecule the answer is 4: 1 nitrogen and 3 hydrogen. This is not the same as atomic number.

The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. NH3 is not an atom but a molecule composed of one nitrogen atom (atomic number 7) and three hydrogen atoms (atomic number 1 each), with a total of four atoms in the molecule.
