The ammonium ion forms when an ammonia molecule (NH3) takes a hydrogen ion (H+) either from an acid or from water. The positive charge on the hydrogen ion is taken over into the new ammonium ion.

Charge of ammonium?
ammonium has a positive charge
Which is the charge for the Ammonium ion?
Ammonium ion has a single positive charge. + ie NH4
Why do ammonium ions have positive charge?
due to the coordination bond formed by ammonium.
Is ammonium a cation?
Yes. The ammonium ion has a formula of NH4+ and has a positive charge so it is a cation.
What are quaternary ammonium salt?
All salts that contain a positive ion including a nitrogen atom bonded to four carbon atoms by single bonds. The lowest ionic mass example is tetramethyl ammonium, which has a single positive charge.

What type of charge does ammonium have?
positive
Which polyatomic ions has a positive charge?
ammonium
Why do ammonium ions have positive charge?
due to the coordination bond formed by ammonium.
Is ammonium a cation?
Yes. The ammonium ion has a formula of NH4+ and has a positive charge so it is a cation.
What is a cation and what cation is found in ammonium nitrate?
A cation is an ion that has lost electrons giving it a positive charge. Ammonium is the cation in ammonium nitrate.
What is the name of compound (NH4)PO4?
The name of compound (NH4)PO4 is Ammonium Phosphate .NH4 and PO4 are both polyatomic ionsNH4(ammonium) has a positive 1 charge, and is the cationPO4(phosphate) has a negative three charge, and is the anionIn order to balance the ionic compound, you need an over all charge of zero(or neutral charge). You have a negative three charge on phosphate so you need a positive three charge of ammonium. Therefore, you have 3 NH4 and 1 PO4Source(s):
What are quaternary ammonium salt?
All salts that contain a positive ion including a nitrogen atom bonded to four carbon atoms by single bonds. The lowest ionic mass example is tetramethyl ammonium, which has a single positive charge.
Is ammonium acetate an example of zwitter ion?
No. Ammonium acetate is a salt, with full ionic bonding. A zwitterion has both positive and negative charge centers within a single ion or molecule.
Why doesn't Ammonium ion behave as an electrophile?
because it attains a positive charge because of the higher valency. such molecules r not electrophiles.....
What is the valancy of ammonium?
The valency of an ammonium ion is 1 (positive).
