Answer:

Dinitrogen Tetrachloride

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound N2Cl4 is made up of two nitrogen atoms and four chlorine atoms, so it is a molecular compound.

To name molecular compounds, we use prefixes to indicate the number of each type of atom in the compound. The prefix for two is "di", and for four is "tetra". Therefore, the name of N2Cl4 would be dinitrogen tetrachloride.
