Answer» CORRECT answer is (d) Potassium hexacyanidoferrate(III) For explanation: The number of CATIONS or anions is not denoted in the name of a coordination compound. In this CASE, the counter ion is named as potassium and not tripotassium. Also, CN is an anionic ligand and should end with -o, with the correct name being cyanido and not CYANO. |
