It's a class 4 oxidizer, meaning it can kick start anything that can burn into burning. But by itself it isn't very dangerous (since there is nothing for it to help burn). Mixing ammonium perchlorate with some metal powders can create an explosive.
The chemical formula for ammonium perchlorate is NH4ClO4.
Ammonium Perchlorlate - NH4ClO4 The negative perchlorate ion (NH4+) is ionically attracted to the positive ammonium ion (ClO4-).
The net ionic equation when ammonium perchlorate reacts with water is NH4++ H2O --> NH3+ H3O+
You don't need to know because making your trying to make BOMBS illegally. Terrible grammar aside; the person posting the above response doesn't understand that there are alot of legitimate uses for Ammonium perchlorate. The most common use is in model rocketry for the hobbyist. Why does he automatically assume that somebody looking for NH4ClO4 is involved in bomb making? I agree, ammonium perchlorate is great for rocketry, but expensive and hard to find because everyone thinks it is used for bombs and nothing else. Also, if someone was going to make a bomb they would use ammonium nitrate because it is much cheaper.
It depends completely on what you are using it for. It is slightly toxic, and it is also a strong oxidizer (I think it's even stronger than ammonium perchlorate). Mixing it with metal powders or combustible materials can cause an explosion.
ammonium perchlorate
ammonium perchlorate, it is a strong oxidizer and is very dangerous.
The chemical formula for ammonium perchlorate is NH4ClO4.
The formula name for NH₄ClO₄ is Ammonium perchlorate.
The correct chemical symbol for ammonium perchlorate is NH4ClO4.
The pH value of ammonium perchlorate is typically neutral, around 7.0.
Ammonium Perchlorlate - NH4ClO4 The negative perchlorate ion (NH4+) is ionically attracted to the positive ammonium ion (ClO4-).

Ammonium perchlorate
In ammonium perchlorate, the valency of nitrogen is +1. This is because nitrogen in the ammonium ion (NH4+) carries a +1 charge.
Ammonium perchlorate, or NH4CIO4, is an inorganic compound and contains ammonium hydroxide and the salt of perchlorate. It can be found in large quantities on Alibaba.
Some of them (e.g. ammonium nitrate) can be explosive.
