Spectator ions are defined as the ions which do not get involved in the chemical equation. It is also defined as the ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of ammonium perchlorate and water is given as:

$NH_4ClO_4(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow NH_4OH(aq.)+HClO_4(aq.)$

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

$NH_4^+(aq.)+ClO_4^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow NH_4OH(aq.)+H^+(aq.)+ClO_4^-(aq.)$

Ammonium hydroxide will not dissociate into its ions because it is a weak base.

As, chlorate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction, thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

$NH_4^+(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow NH_3^+(aq.)+H_3O^+(aq.)$

Hence, the net ionic equation is given above.
