Ammonium chloride

Explanation:

"NH"_4"Cl"NH4Cl is made up of "NH"_4""^+NH4+ and "Cl"^-Cl−

For a halogen "X"_2X2, the diatomic molecule has the suffix -ine and the ion ("X"^-X−) has the suffix -ide. So, "Cl"^-Cl− would be chloride.

"NH"_4""^+NH4+ is given the name ammonium.

When we combine these to get "NH"_4"Cl"NH4Cl, wecombine the names to get ammonium chloride.
