Well for a start there are NH_4^+ and Cl^- ions....

Explanation:

Ammonium chloride speciates in aqueous solution....

NH_4Cl(s) stackrel(H_2O)rarrNH_4^(+) + Cl^-

And ammonium ions are a weak acid, which undergoes protonolysis.......

NH_4^(+) + H_2O rightleftharpoons NH_3(aq) + H_3O^+

And so we got H_3O^+, and NH_4^+, and Cl^- ions.......
