Identify the elements present in the compound: N (nitrogen) and S (sulfur).
Determine the number of atoms of each element in the compound: N2S4 indicates 2 nitrogen atoms and 4 sulfur atoms.
Use the appropriate prefixes for the number of atoms: 'di-' for two and 'tetra-' for four.
Combine the prefixes with the element names: 'dinitrogen' for two nitrogen atoms and 'tetrasulfide' for four sulfur atoms.
Construct the systematic name by combining the modified element names: 'dinitrogen tetrasulfide'.
