Hexaaquoaluminum(III) bromide.
hexamminechromium(III) chloride
same for the third one.
tetrahydroxozincate(II) ion
2. [Cr(NH3)6] Cl3: "Ammonia-fied Chromo-Clash" because it contains six ammonia molecules coordinated with the chromium ion, creating a clash of colors with the chloride ions.
3. K3[FeF6]: "Potassium Hexafluoroferrous Feast" because it's like potassium is throwing a feast for the hexafluoroferrous ion, and there are three servings of it.
4. [Zn(OH)4]-2: "The Hydroxide Gangster" because the zinc ion looks like a gangster with four hydroxide molecules hanging out with it, and it's got that negative charge to add to its tough image.
1. [Al(H2O)6]Br3:
- The central metal ion in this compound is aluminum (Al).
- The ligand is water (H2O).
- According to the rules, the ligand name "water" is changed to "aqua."
- The coordination number is 6, which means there are six water ligands.
- The name of the compound would be hexaaqua aluminum(III) bromide.
2. [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3:
- The central metal ion in this compound is chromium (Cr).
- The ligand is ammonia (NH3).
- The name of the ligand "ammonia" is changed to "ammine."
- The coordination number is 6, which means there are six ammonia ligands.
- The name of the compound would be hexaamminechromium(III) chloride.
3. K3[FeF6]:
- The central metal ion in this compound is iron (Fe).
- The ligand is hexafluoroferrate(IV) ion (FeF6)-4.
- The prefix "hexafluoro" indicates that there are six fluoride (F) ligands.
- Since the overall compound has a negative charge, the name of the compound would be potassium hexafluoroferrate(IV).
4. [Zn(OH)4]-2:
- The central metal ion in this compound is zinc (Zn).
- The ligand is hydroxide (OH).
- The prefix "tetra" indicates that there are four hydroxide ligands.
- The overall compound has a -2 charge, which means it is an anion.
- The name of the compound would be tetrahydroxidozinc(II) ion, or alternatively, tetrakis(hydroxido)zinc(II) ion.
Remember, when naming coordination compounds or ions, it is essential to consider the charge of the complex, as well as the oxidation state of the central metal ion and the names of the ligands.
