1. Chemical Formula:
* Ammonium oxide has the chemical formula (NH₄)₂O.
2. Breakdown:
* (NH₄)₂: This represents two ammonium ions (NH₄⁺). Each ammonium ion contains 1 nitrogen atom and 4 hydrogen atoms.
* O: This represents one oxygen atom.
3. Total Atoms:
* Nitrogen: 2 ammonium ions * 1 nitrogen atom/ion = 2 nitrogen atoms
* Hydrogen: 2 ammonium ions * 4 hydrogen atoms/ion = 8 hydrogen atoms
* Oxygen: 1 oxygen atom
4. Grand Total: 2 + 8 + 1 = 11 atoms
Therefore, there are 11 atoms in one molecule of ammonium oxide.
