Vedclass · Answer

(B) The complex $K_2[PtCl_6]$ is named according to $IUPAC$ rules: $1$. The cation $K^+$ is named first as $Potassium$. $2$. The coordination entity $[PtCl_6]^{2-}$ is named next. $3$. The ligand $Cl^-$ is named as $chloro$ and since there are $6$ of them,it is $hexachloro$. $4$. The central metal $Pt$ is in the anion,so it is named as $platinate$. $5$. The oxidation state of $Pt$ is calculated as $x + 6(-1) = -2$,so $x = +4$. $6$. Combining these,the name is $Potassium \ hexachloroplatinate(IV)$.

The proper name for $K_2[PtCl_6]$ is
