Chapter 19, Problem 23E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The name of the complex ion, ${\text{Ru(NH}}_3{\text{)}}_5{\text{Cl}}^{2+}$ needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: A coordination complex is composed of two main parts; metal atom/ ion and ligand. Ligands are the atom/ group of atom/ ion that can donate its extra pair of electrons to the electron deficient metal cation resulting in the formation of coordinate bond between metal ion and ligand.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The name of the complex ion, ${\text{Fe(CN)}}_{\text{6}}^{\text{4-}}$ needs to be determined.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The name of the complex ion, ${\text{Mn(NH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{)}}_{\text{3}}^{\text{2+}}$ needs to be determined.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The name of the complex ion, ${\text{Co(NH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{)}}_{\text{5}}{\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}^{\text{2+}}$ needs to be determined.
