The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of possible structural isomers of the compound \([Cu(NH_3)_4][PtCl_4]\), we will analyze the coordination complexes formed by copper and platinum. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Coordination Complexes The given compound consists of two coordination complexes: 1. Copper complex: \([Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}\) 2. Platinum complex: \([PtCl_4]^{2-}\) ### Step 2: Determine the Oxidation States - Copper (Cu) is in the +2 oxidation state. - Platinum (Pt) is also in the +2 oxidation state. ### Step 3: Understand the Coordination Numbers - The coordination number for both copper and platinum is 4, which means each metal ion is surrounded by four ligands. ### Step 4: Identify Possible Structural Isomers Structural isomers can arise from different arrangements of ligands around the metal centers. The following structural isomers can be formed: 1. **Isomer 1**: \([Cu(NH_3)_4][PtCl_4]\) - Copper is coordinated to four ammonia ligands, and platinum is coordinated to four chloride ligands. 2. **Isomer 2**: \([Cu(NH_3)_3Cl][PtCl_3(NH_3)]\) - One ammonia ligand is transferred from copper to platinum, resulting in three ammonia and one chloride around copper, and three chlorides and one ammonia around platinum. 3. **Isomer 3**: \([Cu(NH_3)_2Cl_2][PtCl_2(NH_3)_2]\) - Two ammonia ligands are transferred from copper to platinum, resulting in two ammonia and two chlorides around copper, and two chlorides and two ammonia around platinum. 4. **Isomer 4**: \([Cu(NH_3)Cl_3][PtCl(NH_3)_3]\) - Three ammonia ligands are transferred from copper to platinum, resulting in one ammonia and three chlorides around copper, and one chloride and three ammonia around platinum. 5. **Isomer 5**: \([CuCl_4][Pt(NH_3)_4]\) - All ammonia ligands are transferred to platinum, resulting in four chlorides around copper and four ammonia around platinum. ### Step 5: Count the Isomers From the analysis, we can see that there are a total of **five possible structural isomers** for the compound \([Cu(NH_3)_4][PtCl_4]\). ### Final Answer The total number of possible structural isomers of the compound \([Cu(NH_3)_4][PtCl_4]\) is **5**. ---
