The correct Answer is:
To determine the IUPAC name of the complex \([Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2Br_2]\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the central metal atom The central metal atom in the complex is Platinum (Pt). **Hint:** Look for the element that is not a ligand; it is usually the metal in the center of the complex. ### Step 2: Identify the ligands and their names The ligands present in the complex are: - Ammonia (NH3) - which is named as "ammine" - Chloride (Cl) - which is named as "chloro" - Bromide (Br) - which is named as "bromo" **Hint:** Ligands are usually named based on their chemical structure. Common ligands have specific names that you should memorize. ### Step 3: Determine the number of each type of ligand In the complex \([Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2Br_2]\): - There are 2 ammine ligands. - There are 2 chloro ligands. - There are 2 bromo ligands. **Hint:** Count the number of each ligand carefully as this will affect the prefix used in the name. ### Step 4: Use the appropriate prefixes for the ligands For the ligands: - "di-" is used for 2 ligands. Thus, we will have: - Diamine for NH3 - Dichloro for Cl - Dibromo for Br **Hint:** Prefixes like "di-", "tri-", "tetra-", etc., indicate the number of ligands present. ### Step 5: Determine the oxidation state of the metal The overall charge of the complex is neutral (0). The oxidation state of platinum can be calculated as follows: Let the oxidation state of Pt be \(x\). The charges from the ligands are: - 2 Cl (each -1) contributes -2 - 2 Br (each -1) contributes -2 - 2 NH3 (neutral) contributes 0 Setting up the equation: \[ x + (-2) + (-2) = 0 \] \[ x - 4 = 0 \] \[ x = +4 \] So, the oxidation state of platinum is +4. **Hint:** To find the oxidation state, consider the charges contributed by each ligand and set the sum equal to the overall charge of the complex. ### Step 6: Assemble the name in the correct order According to IUPAC nomenclature, ligands are named in alphabetical order, regardless of their prefixes. Therefore, we arrange them as: 1. Diamine (ammine) 2. Dibromo 3. Dichloro Finally, we add the name of the metal with its oxidation state in Roman numerals. Thus, the full name of the complex is: **Diamine dibromo dichloro platinum(IV)** ### Final Answer The IUPAC name of the complex \([Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2Br_2]\) is **Diamine dibromo dichloro platinum(IV)**. ---
