First of all, oxygen is diatomic, so it needs to have a two in subscript after it, not before it.
NH4 + O2
^ If this is the equation, the answer would be four Hydrogen atoms.
I'm assuming that since the two is in there, the equation looks like this on paper:
(NH4)2 + O2
In this case, the answer would be eight Hydrogen atoms because you multiply the amount within the parentheses by the number outside of the parentheses.
This formula is for ammonium oxide.
There is a compound ammonium hydoxide, NH4OH (cannot be isolated - only in solution) there is no ammonium oxide, if there wrer it would have the forula (NH4)2O
In a chemical equation, 2O represents two oxygen atoms whereas 2 O represents two oxygen molecules. Oxygen atoms are single atoms of oxygen, while oxygen molecules consist of two oxygen atoms bonded together.
In Lewis concept, water is considered a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms that share electrons in a covalent bond. Each hydrogen atom contributes one electron and the oxygen atom contributes two electrons to form the shared pair that bonds the atoms together. This shared electron pair allows water to exhibit a polar nature due to differences in electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
A single molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, for a total of three atoms per molecule.
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.
This formula is for ammonium oxide.
There are two (2o)
(NH4)2O however this compound does not exist.
Ammonium oxide would be (NH4)2O though it doesn't exist.It would have 11 atoms in one molecule.Added:I agree: 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 isKb = [NH4+][OH-]/[NH3] = 1.8×10−5
The compound is ammonium oxide. You can tell because the NH4+ and O2- ions are present.

(NH4)2OAmmonium is NH4+ Oxygen is O-2 When you use the criss cross method you switch the charges and put the NH4 in bracketssicne it is a polyatomic ion and it has set ratios.Added:I'm very sorry to inform you that ammonium oxide does NOT exist!

I believe it is 4. 1A+1G+2O 1+1+2=4
