Something like (C10H8O4)n? (This is the formula for the plastic a Coke bottle is made of.) It means there are multiple instances of whatever group is inside the parentheses.
For ex. a group of polyatomic ions.
More than one polyatomic ion should be indicated in a chemical formula by putting parentheses around the atoms in the ions and then adding a subscript.
Parentheses around a polyatomic ion in a chemical formula indicates that more than one of that ion is present in the compound. This notation helps clarify the chemical formula and the ratio of elements in the compound.
You can get a 3/4hp garbage disposal replacement for around $200. It will cost you around $250 for a plumber to install the unit. You should shop around for a good plumber at the lowest price in your area. It isn't a project you should do yourself unless you are fully competent.
The NH4 asked about is the amonium ion, and it's written NH4+ to indicate it has a positive charge (+1). It's a cation. Wikipedia has more information on this chemically significant polyatomic ion, and you'll find that a link to that post is provided below.
there is no red light around an atom

When more than one polyatomic ion is needed in a chemical formula, enclose the polyatomic ion in parentheses and use a subscript outside the parentheses to indicate the number of polyatomic ions needed. For example, the formula for two sulfate ions would be (SO4)2.
=(b1+c1+d1)/3
"The chemical formula for rayon was discovered around 1855." "Alfred Nobel, for whom the Peace Prize is named, developed the chemical formula for dynamite."
The chemical formula of endosulfan is C9H6Cl6O3S. Endosulfan is used in agriculture around the world to control insect pests such as Colorado potato beetles, cabbage worms, leafhoppers, and whiteflies.
If there are parentheses around the numbers (two parentheses for each number) multiply them.
It's 2+(-34)=-10 So put the parentheses around the -34.
