The correct name for [Ni(NH₃)₆](NO₃)₃ ________. A)dinitrohexaamminenickel (II) B)hexaamminenickel (III)trinitrate C)dinitrohexaamminenickelate (III) D)hexaamminenickel (II)nitrate E)hexaamminenickel (III)nitrate

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complex has a nickel (Ni) ion with a coordination number of six (hexaammine) and a nitrate (NO3-) ion as a counterion. The prefix "dinitro" and suffix "ate" indicate the presence of two nitro (NO2-) groups as ligands. The Roman numeral III denotes the oxidation state of nickel. Therefore, the correct name is "hexaamminenickel (III) nitrate dinitrohexaamminenickelate (III)."
