Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that ammonium nitrate is a compound made from the ammonium ion and the nitrate ion.
Recall the chemical formula for the ammonium ion, which is $\mathrm{NH_4^+}$.
Recall the chemical formula for the nitrate ion, which is $\mathrm{NO_3^-}$.
Combine the ammonium ion and nitrate ion to form the neutral compound ammonium nitrate, resulting in the formula $\mathrm{NH_4NO_3}$.
