Question
**Task**: Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:

Given Ions:
- \( \text{Pb}^{4+} \)
- \( \text{NH}_4^+ \)
- \( \text{BrO}_3^- \)
- \( \text{CO}_3^{2-} \)

**Instructions**: Fill in the blank with the empirical formulas. Consider appropriate combinations of cations and anions to satisfy the charge balance for ionic compounds.

### Explanation of Components

1. **Lead (IV) Ion, \( \text{Pb}^{4+} \)**:
   - This cation has a +4 charge.

2. **Ammonium Ion, \( \text{NH}_4^+ \)**:
   - This cation has a +1 charge.

3. **Bromate Ion, \( \text{BrO}_3^- \)**:
   - This anion has a -1 charge.

4. **Carbonate Ion, \( \text{CO}_3^{2-} \)**:
   - This anion has a -2 charge.

### Example Formulations

To derive the formulas, ensure the total positive charge equals the total negative charge.

- Example 1: \( \text{Pb(BrO}_3\text{)}_4 \)
- Example 2: \( \text{Pb(CO}_3\text{)}_2 \)
- Example 3: \( (\text{NH}_4)_2\text{Pb(BrO}_3\text{)}_2 \)
- Example 4: \( (\text{NH}_4)_4\text{PbC}_4 \)
   
These examples illustrate how combinations of given ions can form balanced ionic compounds.
