Also the difference between iodine and iodide? I think it is somthing to do with their ions, where ammonia has a neutral charge but ammonium is positively charged.

ammonia is NH3 (neutral), ammonium is the ion NH4(+), iodine is I2 (neutral) iodide is I- (anion)

ammonia, NH3, is a gas found in smelling salts. It has no charge. It is very soluble.
Ammonium is a positive ion, NH4+,it is part of a compound. In water NH3 dissolves and reacts with water to produce NH4OH, a base
iodine is an element. It is diatomic, found as I2, t i a purple crystal at room temerature and a purple gas just bove that. It dissolves readily in alcohol making the brown liquid tincture of iodine.
iodide is the negative ion I-, iodine readily combines with elements in column 1 forming a salt. It takes an electron.

Ammonium, NH4+, is a positive ion formed from ammlonia, NH3, accepting a proton from an acid:
NH3 + HCl ===> NH4+ + Cl-
Iodide is a negative ion formed from iodine's accepting an electron from a reducing agent:
I + e- ===> I-

ammonia is just NH3 while ammonium is ion NH4+.
iodine is I2, a halogen, a molecular form while iodide is I-..the negative ion of iodine

Ammonia (NH3) is a distinct chemical substance.
Ammonium (NH4+) is an ion, it exists in conjunction with negative ions.
You can make pure ammonia, there is no such thing as pure ammonium. It would have to be something like pure ammonium chloride (NH4Cl)

Ammonium is an ion (NH4+). Ammonia is a compound (NH3).
Iodide is an ion (I-). Iodine is an element (I).

Ammonia is NH3, it is sp3 hybridized and contains a single lone pair in an sp3 orbital. Ammonium is NH4+, it is ionic and has a positive charge on the nitrogen. It is also sp3 hybridized, but does not contain a lone pair.

Ammonia is NH3 this is base.
Ammonium is a salt with the symbol NH4+
