Name of the compound is Nitrogen triiodide.

Explanation:

According to the IUPAC rules, to naming of the compound the following formula can be applied.

Prefix + Name of first element + Base name element of second element + Suffix.

The given compound -

Name of first element- Nitrogen

Base name element of second element - Iodine

Suffix = 3 = tri

Here, iodine is in ionic form therefore, it becomes iodide. and then suffix will be added in front of the halogen.

Therefore, name of the compound will be  Nitrogen triiodide..
