<u>Answer:</u> The name of the given compound is ammonium sulfide.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula of . This is formed by the combination of ammonium
ions and sulfur
ions.
The given compound is an ionic compound because complete transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another atom.
The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:
- Positive ion is written first.
- The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
- In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.
Hence, the name of the given compound is ammonium sulfide.
