What is the name of the compound (NH4) 3PO4? (NH) 4 + is an ammonium radical and (PO4) 3 - is a phospate radical. When we start writing the compound, the valency of phosphate goes to ammonium as subscript, and that of ammonium goes to phosphate. Hence the formula (NH4) 3 PO4 and it's name is ammonium phospate.
