Q. The name of $\left\lbrack Pt\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{4}{Cl}_{2} \right\rbrack^{2 +}\ ,\left\lbrack {PtCl}_{4} \right\rbrack^{2 -}$ is
A) Tetramminedichloroplatinum(IV) tetrachloro platinate(II)
B) Dichloroplatinum (IV) tetrachloroplatinate
C) Tetrachloroplatinum (II) tetrammineplatinate
D) Tetrachloroplatinum (II) dichlorotetraammine platinate
Explanation
(a)
The name of $\left\lbrack Pt\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{4}{Cl}_{2} \right\rbrack^{2 +}\ ,\left\lbrack {PtCl}_{4} \right\rbrack^{2 -}$ is tetraamminedichloroplatinum (IV) tetrachloroplatinate (II). Since, positive ion is written first and negative ion later.
