(a)
Interpretation:
The number of atoms of each element present in the formula unit of ammonium sulfate is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds are made of cation and ions that are held together by the strong electrostatic force of attraction. Ionic bonding is very strong. Formula unit of an ionic compound is defined as the empirical formula of ionic compounds. It represents the simplest and smallest unit of an ionic compound.
