Q.11 Write IUPAC names of following co-ordination ion / compound.
(i) [Cu(NH3)4]2+
(ii) Na3[AlF6]
Best answer
Answer:
(i) [Cu(NH3)4]2+: Tetraamminecopper(II) ion (four neutral NH3 ligands, so Cu is +2).
(ii) Na3[AlF6]: Sodium hexafluoridoaluminate(III) (anionic complex, so the metal name ends in -ate; Al is +3 since 3 – 6 = –3 charge on the complex).
