The compound is nitrogen trichloride, but is simply aluminum chloride. Why? Choose all that apply.

A. is a molecular compound (two or more nonmetals), and therefore in its name prefixes indicate the number of each type of atom, so is aluminum chloride.

B. is a molecular compound (two or more nonmetals), and therefore in its name prefixes indicate the number of each type of atom, so is nitrogen trichloride.

C. The compound is an ionic compound (metal and nonmetal), and therefore does not require prefixes, so is aluminum chloride.

D. The compound is an ionic compound (metal and nonmetal), and therefore does not require prefixes, so is nitrogen trichloride.
