Ammonium, NH4+
The chemical formula of the compound shows the ratio of the atoms of elements in a compound. This must not be confused with the ratio of their masses.
The fixed ratio of the elements in a chemical compound is called its RATIO OF MASSES.
A compound.
The answer depends on the compound.
This ratio is different for each compound; for the oxide P4O10 the ratio is 2/5.
A compound has a definite ratio of components.
Water is an inorganic compound.
