  • Ammonium Sulfate: Chemical Name & Formula Explained
    The correct name for the compound (NH₄)₂SO₄ is ammonium sulfate.

    Here's how to break down the name:

    * (NH₄)₂: This represents the ammonium ion (NH₄⁺). Since there are two ammonium ions, we use the prefix "di" to indicate that.

    * SO₄: This represents the sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻).

    Therefore, combining the names of the cation and anion gives us ammonium sulfate.
