Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound is formed from the cation NH₄⁺ and the anion NO₃^-. To balance the charges, one cation combines with one anion. The cation has one more positive charge than the anion, so we need one more cation than anion. The formula for the final compound will have a ratio of 1:1 for the cation and anion. The only option with this ratio is E: NH₄NO₃.
