Answer:

Is

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonium (NH4+) is a poly-atomic ion. ... NH4+ is not the formula of a neutral molecule, neutral ammonia is NH3. to make the ammonium ion, you add a proton (H+). Thus, Ammonium is NOT a molecular ion. You can create a molecular ion like NH3- by electron bombardment to give it a negative charge.

Hope this helps......
