The correct Answer is:
To determine the IUPAC name for the coordination compound \([Al(OH)(H_2O)_5]^{2+}\), we will follow a systematic approach. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the central metal atom The central metal atom in the complex is Aluminium (Al). ### Step 2: Identify the ligands The ligands present in the complex are: - Hydroxo (OH) - Aqua (H2O) ### Step 3: Count the number of each ligand - There is 1 Hydroxo ligand (OH). - There are 5 Aqua ligands (H2O). ### Step 4: Determine the oxidation state of the central metal atom Let the oxidation state of Aluminium be \(x\). The overall charge of the complex is \(+2\). The contribution to the charge is: - Hydroxo (OH) contributes \(-1\). - Aqua (H2O) contributes \(0\) (since it is neutral). Setting up the equation: \[ x + (-1) + 0 \cdot 5 = +2 \] \[ x - 1 = 2 \] \[ x = 3 \] Thus, the oxidation state of Aluminium is \(+3\). ### Step 5: Write the name of the ligands in alphabetical order According to IUPAC nomenclature, ligands are named in alphabetical order regardless of the number of each ligand: - Aqua (for H2O) - Hydroxo (for OH) ### Step 6: Indicate the number of each ligand - For 5 Aqua ligands, we use "penta". - For 1 Hydroxo ligand, we simply use "hydroxo" (no prefix needed). ### Step 7: Combine the names and include the central metal with its oxidation state Putting it all together: - The name starts with "penta" for the 5 Aqua ligands. - Then "hydroxo" for the Hydroxo ligand. - Followed by the name of the central metal "aluminium". - Finally, we indicate the oxidation state of Aluminium in parentheses as (III). Thus, the complete IUPAC name is: **Pentaaquahydroxoaluminium(III)** ### Step 8: Identify the correct option Now, we compare this with the given options: (a) Pentahyroaluminium hydroxide (b) Aquometaaluminate ion (c) Pentaaquaaluminate(III)hydroxide (d) Pentaaquahydroxoaluminium(III) The correct answer is **(d) Pentaaquahydroxoaluminium(III)**. ---
