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 \(\mathrm{NH_4NO_3}\).
Compare the given options to identify which one matches \(\mathrm{NH_4NO_3}\), confirming that ammonium nitrate is represented by \(\mathrm{NH_4NO_3}\).
