Ammonium chloride

Explanation:

${NH}_{4} Cl$ $"NH"_4"Cl"$ is made up of ${NH}_{4}^{+}$ $"NH"_4""^+$ and ${Cl}^{-}$ $"Cl"^-$

For a halogen $X_{2}$ $"X"_2$ , the diatomic molecule has the suffix -ine and the ion ( $X^{-}$ $"X"^-$ ) has the suffix -ide. So, ${Cl}^{-}$ $"Cl"^-$ would be chloride.

${NH}_{4}^{+}$ $"NH"_4""^+$ is given the name ammonium.

When we combine these to get ${NH}_{4} Cl$ $"NH"_4"Cl"$ , wecombine the names to get ammonium chloride.
