Answer:

Pentasulfur nonanitride.

Explanation:

In order to name a compound properly, we need to identify the type of a compound we have. The given compound consists of two non-metals, sulfur and nitrogen. This implies that we have a covalent compound in contrast to an ionic compound which consists of a metal and a non-metal.

To name a molecular/covalent compound, we should use prefixes stating the number of atoms we have. In this case, we have 5 sulfur atoms. The prefix for 5 is 'penta'. That said, we have 'pentasulfur' as our beginning of the name.

We also have 9 nitrogen atoms. The second atom in the molecular formula would have an ending of '-ide', so we expect to have 'nitride'. Adding a prefix for 9, we'd have 'nonanitride'.

Putting everything together, the name is pentasulfur nonanitride.

Some common prefixes:

mono – one (we don't state mono for the first atom, e. g., we would name CO as carbon monoxide instead of monocarbon monoxide);

di – two;

tri – three;

tetra – four;

penta – five;

hexa – six;

hepta – seven;

octa – eight;

nona – nine;

deca – ten.

Notice that 'decanitride' would be correct in case you had 10 nitrogen atoms, similarly, tetra and hexa stand for 4 and 6 instead of 5 given sulfur atoms.
