Simple chemical nomenclature! ?

indicate whether each of the following statements is correct (Yes or No).
The chemical formula must be correct and the name of the compound must correspond to it unambiguously, and in accordance with the naming conventions taught.

H2ClO4 is perchloric acid. --- no? perchlorid acid is HClO4
MgI2 is magnesium iodide -- yes?
Sn(NO3)4 is tin nitrate. -- yes?
XeF2 is xenon fluoride -- no? Should be "xenon difluoride"
K2Cr2O7 is potassium dichromate --yes?

Are my answers correct?
If not, please *delete me* I have one more try left! :(

You might need to indicate the oxidation state of Tin using roman numerals.

tin(IV) nitrate would be correct.

Does H2ClO4 even exist?  ???
