The compound Pb2Se4 consists of lead (Pb) and selenium (Se) elements. To determine the compound name, we use the rules for naming binary compounds.

Since lead (Pb) is a metal and selenium (Se) is a nonmetal, we use the prefix "di-" to indicate two atoms of lead (Pb) and the prefix "tetra-" to indicate four atoms of selenium (Se). The suffix "-ide" is used for the nonmetal, selenium (Se).

Therefore, the compound name for Pb2Se4 is lead(II) selenide.
