Answer: The chemical formula for the compound is
(NH_4)_2SO_3

Step-by-step explanation:

An ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

These are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal or a metal reacts with a polyatomic ion or a reaction between two polyatomic ions takes place.

We are given:

Two polyatomic ions having formulas
NH_4^+\text{ and }SO_3^(2-)

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Hence, the chemical formula for the compound is
(NH_4)_2SO_3
