NH4+ is the ammonium radical, which consists of one nitrogen and four hydrogen atoms in an ionized state. It is a compound radical because it has more than one atom. An ion that consists of just one atom, such as Na+ is not a compound.

NH4 represents the ammonium ion, not a compound radical. It forms when ammonia (NH3) accepts a proton to become NH4+. The ammonium ion has a positive charge, making it a cation, not a compound radical.
