The correct Answer is:
To determine the IUPAC name of the coordination compound \([CuCl_2(CH_3NH_2)_2]\), we will follow the systematic nomenclature rules for coordination compounds. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process: ### Step 1: Identify the Ligands The coordination compound consists of: - Two chloride ions \((Cl^-)\) - Two methylamine ligands \((CH_3NH_2)\) The name of the chloride ligand in coordination chemistry is "chlorido," and the name for the methylamine ligand is "methylamine." ### Step 2: Determine the Oxidation State of the Central Metal Let the oxidation state of copper be \(x\). The charges from the ligands are: - Chlorido: Each chloride ion has a charge of \(-1\), and there are 2 chloride ions, contributing \(-2\) total. - Methylamine: It is a neutral ligand, contributing \(0\). The overall charge of the complex is neutral (0). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ x + (-2) + 0 = 0 \] Solving for \(x\): \[ x - 2 = 0 \implies x = +2 \] Thus, the oxidation state of copper is \(+2\). ### Step 3: Naming the Ligands According to IUPAC nomenclature: - The ligands are named in alphabetical order, regardless of the number of ligands. - Since we have two chlorido ligands, we use the prefix "di" for two. - For the two methylamine ligands, we use the prefix "bis" since it is a complex ligand. So, we have: - Chlorido (for \(Cl^-\)) - Bis(methylamine) (for \(2\) methylamine ligands) ### Step 4: Combine the Names Now, we combine the names of the ligands with the name of the central metal: - The name of the central metal is "copper," and since its oxidation state is \(+2\), we denote it as "copper(II)." ### Step 5: Final Assembly of the Name Putting it all together, we write the name as: \[ \text{dichloridobis(methylamine)copper(II)} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the IUPAC name of the coordination compound \([CuCl_2(CH_3NH_2)_2]\) is: **Dichloridobis(methylamine)copper(II)** ### Answer Selection Among the given options, this matches with: (c) Dichloridobis(methylamine)copper(II) ---
