What is the name of N2Cl4? Explain how you determined the bond type and the steps you used to determine the naming convention for the compound. (5 points)

dinitrogen tetrachloride, ionic

Explanation:

N2Cl4

N2 should be dinitrogen since the N is nitrogen and the 2 is for 2 of the Ns.

Cl4 (the second part of the compound) should be named like an ion and the prefix. for the prefix: tetra (since there are 4) and chlorIDE since we are naming it like an ion. So Cl4 becomes tetrachloride.

In the end, the compound should be named dinitrogen tetrachloride.

For the second part, I think because Cl is included, and it's charge is -, the bond should be ionic. N can form ionic or covalent bonds.

The bond between N2 and Cl4 is ionic.

it is stable as it is in group 0 which have full outer shells of electrons
