Expert Answer:
As we know that the electrons filling takes place as is 2,8,18,32
Now in case of NH4
The total electrons in the valence shell is =5+4=9
To get 8 in valence shell we have to remove one electron hence it has NH4+
In case of PO4
electrons in valence shell is 5+24=29
Now to complete the octet we require 32 we need to add 3 electrons to get stable electronic configuration . Hence the charge is -3.
