In one molecule of (NH4)3PO4, we have:
- 3 nitrogen (N) atoms from the 3 NH4+ ions
- 12 hydrogen (H) atoms from the 3 NH4+ ions
- 1 phosphorus (P) atom from the PO43- ion
- 4 oxygen (O) atoms from the PO43- ion
So, the total number of atoms in one molecule of (NH4)3PO4 is:
3 N atoms + 12 H atoms + 1 P atom + 4 O atoms = 20 atoms
Therefore, there are 20 atoms in one molecule of (NH4)3PO4.
