It says that a group 1 metal + NH4 is soluble, which I get, but then it goes on to say that (NH4)3PO4 falls into this category??? Where's the group 1 metal? P is a nonmetal...?

Thanks in advance!

1 metal + NH4 are contained into one category to be classified as soluble.

sorry, still confused, can you explain more?

Even thought the word "and" is used, it is being used as an or. i know this sounds confusing, but it means that anything that has a group 1a metal and anything that has nh4 will be soluble.

Ya, so basically if it has a group 1A metal OR NH4, it will be soluble.
