Question

(a) Give systematic names or the chemical formulas for the following. Remember, names must

be spelled correctly!
1.) [Ni(CO)2C2O4]
2.) K3[Fe(NCO)3(OCN)3]
3.) diammineaquahydroxoplatinum(II) ion
4.) Al[Co(CO3)2(CN)2]
5.) ethylenediaminedinitritozinc(II)

Answer 1

[Ni(CO)2C2O4]- Dicarbonyloxalatonickel(0)

K3[Fe(NCO)3(OCN)3-potassiumtricyanatotriisocyanatoferrate II

diammineaquahydroxoplatinum(II) ion- [Pt(NH3)2(H2O)(OH)]^+

Al[Co(CO3)2(CN)2- Aluminiumdicarbonatodicyanocobalt III

ethylenediaminedinitritozinc(II)- Zn(en)(NO2)2

Step-by-step explanation:

The international Union of Pure and applied chemistry published a set rules for the nomenclature of inorganic compounds in 1985. This set of rules have been consistently revised ever since.

The rules stipulate the order for naming positive ions, negative ions and neutral ligands and the allowed order of preference for naming. It also stipulates the proper endings for ligands which are positive ions, negative ions or neutral ligands as the case may be.

The compounds named above were named in accordance with the revised IUPAC nomenclature for inorganic compounds.
