Vedclass · Answer

(A) To name the coordination compound $K_4[Fe(CN)_6]$ according to $IUPAC$ rules:$1$. Name the cation first: $Potassium$.$2$. Name the ligands in alphabetical order: $hexacyano$ (for $6$ $CN^-$ ions).$3$. Name the central metal atom: Since the complex ion $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}$ is anionic,the metal $Fe$ is named as $ferrate$.$4$. Determine the oxidation state of $Fe$: $x + 6(-1) = -4$,so $x = +2$. Thus,it is $ferrate(II)$.Combining these,the name is $Potassium  hexacyanoferrate(II)$.

The $IUPAC$ name of $K_4[Fe(CN)_6]$ is
