  By  use   IUPAC  nomenclature   rule  compound  N2O3  is  named  as  

Dinitrogen  trioxide  (  answer  d)

Nitrogen (N2) is  named  before  oxygen(O3)  since    they  are  arranged  alphabetically.  In   addition  the  prefix  Di  is   used   infront  of  nitrogen  since    they  are  two  nitrogen  atoms   while  prefix  tri  is   used  infront  of  oxide  since  they  are 3   oxygen   atoms

Using the IUPAC nomenclature rules, the name of the given compound (N₂O₃) is Dinitrogen trioxide

From the question,

We are to use IUPAC nomenclature rules to give the name of the compound - n2o3

This compound can be properly written as N₂O₃

Using one of the IUPAC rules that is pertaining to this type of compound

  • Begin the name with the element name of the first element. If there is more than one atom of this element in the molecular formula, use a numerical prefix to indicate the number of atoms,

We can observe that in the compound, there are two atoms of Nitrogen, So we name it as

Dinitrogen

Then, continuation of the above rule

  • followed by a numerical prefix indicating the number of atoms of the second element, plus the stem of the element name

There are three oxygen atoms, that becomes trioxide

Putting them together, the name of the compound becomes Dinitrogen trioxide

Hence, using the IUPAC nomenclature rules, the name of the given compound (N₂O₃) is Dinitrogen trioxide. The correct option is d. dinitrogen trioxide
