Chapter 20, Problem 4RQ

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The incorrect names of some coordination compounds are given. The correct names and the reason behind the wrong naming is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The naming of coordination compounds is done to present an easy way to represent the formulas and their names in a systematic manner. When the isomers are to be studied, there the nomenclature plays an important role. Certain rules are assigned for the nomenclature of the coordination compounds.

To determine: The correct name of the complex $\left[\text{Cu}{\left({\text{NH}}_3\right)}_4\right]{\text{Cl}}_2$.
