  • Ammonium Nitrate (NH₄NO₃): Chemical Formula & Breakdown
    Ammonium trioxonitrate(V) is the formal name for ammonium nitrate. Here's how we break it down:

    * Ammonium refers to the positively charged ion NH₄⁺.

    * Trioxonitrate(V) refers to the negatively charged ion NO₃⁻. The "V" in the name indicates that the nitrogen atom has an oxidation state of +5.

    Therefore, the chemical formula for ammonium nitrate is NH₄NO₃.
