As a compound the substance has neither a valence nor an atomic number. Only elements have atomic numbers. Only atoms and ions have valences.
Ammonium is a polyatomic ion, not an element and thus it does not have an atomic number. It is composed of nitrogen and hydrogen and has the formula NH4+. Nitrogen has the atomic number 7. Hydrogen has the atomic number 1.
Ammonia = NH3 Ammonium = NH4
Iodine's atomic number is 53. That puts it in the halogen group. All halogens have 7 valence electrons.
The formula of ammonium sulphate is (NH4)2SO4, showing that each formula mass contains one sulphur atom. The formula mass of ammonium sulphate is 132.13, and the gram atomic mass of sulphur is 32.06. Therefore, the percent by mass of sulphur in ammonium sulphate is 100(32.06/132.13) or 24.26, to the justified number of significant digits.
If you know the atomic no. and atomic mass, then the no. of electrons, no. of protons and no. of neutrons can also be determined. Atomic No.=No. of electrons = No. of protons. No. of neutrons=Atomic mass-Atomic no. Also, by no. of electrons you can determine its valency and the no. of valence electrons.
The valency of Ammonium (NH4) is +1.

ammonium sulfate is a compound not an element and therefore has no atomic number. Perhaps you were thinking of molecular weight. But that is a totally different concept.
Atomic number is a term used for chemical elements not for compounds.
Its valency could be 4 because it has 4 electrons in its valence shell.
Carbon has a valency of 2, 4. Which might be useful information if it were either a) correct or b) relevant (the atomic number of carbon is 6). The element with an atomic number of 8 is oxygen, which has a valence of 2 (and a most common oxidation number of -2).
The element with an atomic number of 16 is sulfur. Sulfur has a valency of -2 as it is in group VI.
Valency is not a word... but if you want to know the number of valence electrons that Magnesium has, it is 2. Magnesium's atomic number is 12.
As Barium's atomic number is 56 and as it has 2 electrons in its outer shell (this is also due to the fact that it is in Group 2) its valency is 2. It loses 2 electrons to attain the electronic configuration of Xenon whose atomic number is 54, so it is electropositive and is a metal.Therefore its valency is 2+.

Ammonia = NH3 Ammonium = NH4
The relative mass number of sodium is 23. The atomic number is 11. It has a valency of one.
Group number 1 = Valency 1+group number 2 = valency 2+group number 3 = valency 3+group number 4 = valency 4+ and 4- (some cases) group number 5 = valency 3-group number 6 = valency 2-group number 7 = valency 1-group number 8 = valency 0For the transition elements they will either state Copper (III) Sulphate or it will be like Cu2(SO4)3You can find the valency by the base of sulphate and you know its positive because metals are always positive and are written in the left.Source: I am a GCE O Level Sciences Student (O2)
