Question

1. diaquasilver(I) dicyanidoargentate(I) 2. dicyanidosilver(II) diaquaargentate(II) 3. diaquasilver(II) dicyanidoargentate(II) 4. dicyanidosilver(I) diaquaargentate(I)

Doubtly AI · Accepted Answer

Answer: 1. diaquasilver(I) dicyanidoargentate(I) Key idea: in a complex salt name the cation first and then the anion; in anionic complexes the metal ends in -ate. Cation [Ag(H₂O)₂]^+ : two water ligands, Ag is +1, so diaquasilver(I). Anion [Ag(CN)₂]^- : Ag is +1, Latin name, dicyanidoargentate(I). Name: diaquasilver(I) dicyanidoargentate(I), option 1.
