Answer:
The correct answer is – dinitrogen tetrachloride.
Explanation:
Covalent compounds are named on the basis of the following rules:
1. Numerical prefixes except for mono are used to name the first nonmetal.
2. The basename of the second nonmetal is used but added suffix –ide. Numerical prefixes will be used here as well
So, the correct name would be – dinitrogen tetrachloride
As there is no metal in the formula bond type can be determined here.
