I'm very sorry to inform you that ammonium oxide does NOT exist!

Even the ammonium hydroxide, much better known as ammonia, doesn't exist.

Citation in wikipedia:

Ammonium hydroxide, also known as ammonia water, ammonical liquor, ammonia liquor, aqua ammonia, or aqueous ammonia, is a solution of ammonia in water. It can be denoted by the symbols NH3(aq). Although its name suggests a salt with composition [NH4+][OH−], it is not actually possible to isolate samples of NH4OH - it exists only in dilute aqueous solutions.

NH4+ is not an alkali metal, though it forms halogenides, nitrates and other salts like K+ and Na+.

In a 1M ammonia solution, about 0.42% of the ammonia is converted to ammonium, NH4+, equivalent to a pH of 11.63.

NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH−.

The base ionization constant is

Kb = [NH4+][OH-]/[NH3] = 1.8×10−5

Is ammonium oxide covalent or ionic?

Ammonium oxide is ionic. It is formed by the reaction between ammonium ions (NH4+) and oxide ions (O2-), resulting in the transfer of electrons from the ammonium ion to the oxide ion, forming an ionic bond.

Is ammonia reacts with oxygen to form ammonium oxide?

No, ammonia does not react with oxygen to form ammonium oxide. Ammonia is a compound composed of nitrogen and hydrogen (NH3), while ammonium oxide does not exist as a stable compound.


How can you separate ammonium chloride and copper oxide?

Ammonium chloride is water-soluble whereas copper oxide is not. You can separate them by dissolving the mixture in water, then filtering it. The filtrate solution will contain ammonium chloride and the residue will contain copper oxide.


What is the name of the ionic compound (NH4)2O?

The compound is ammonium oxide. You can tell because the NH4+ and O2- ions are present.


The total number of atoms in one molecule of ammonium oxide?

Ammonium oxide has the chemical formula (NH4)2O. In one molecule of ammonium oxide, there are 13 atoms: 2 nitrogen atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms, and 3 oxygen atoms.


How decomposition of ammonium nitrate into nitrous oxide is a redox reaction?

In the decomposition of ammonium nitrate into nitrous oxide, nitrogen undergoes a change in oxidation state from +3 in ammonium nitrate to +2 in nitrous oxide. This reduction in oxidation state of nitrogen indicates a transfer of electrons, making it a redox reaction.


Can you prepare ammonia using calcium oxide and ammonium chloride?

Yes. Ammonium salts such as ammonium chloride will react with a strong base to yield ammonia.
