You are missing something.
NH3 + [Cd(NH3)4]<sup>2+</sup> > Cd<sup>2+</sup> + NH4<sup>+</sup>
Is that what you mean?
Then it will never balance.
On the left, for every Cd, you have +2 charge. On the right, for every Cd, you have a +2 charge AND a + charge for each N.
Somehow, something has to be reduced for this to happen. Charges just can't be manufactured.
So I guess I don't understand what you mean.
