The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given names is impossible, we will analyze each option step by step, focusing on the oxidation states and the overall charge balance in the complexes. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A - Potassium Tetrafluoridophus 1. **Identify the components**: The name suggests a complex with potassium (K) as the cation and a complex anion involving chromium (Cr) with four fluoride ions (F) and one oxide ion (O). 2. **Determine oxidation states**: - Potassium (K) is a group 1 element, so its oxidation state is +1. - Each fluoride ion (F) has an oxidation state of -1, and there are four fluoride ions: \(4 \times (-1) = -4\). - The oxide ion (O) has an oxidation state of -2. 3. **Calculate the total oxidation state of the complex**: - The total from fluoride and oxide: \(-4 + (-2) = -6\). - For the complex to be neutral, the oxidation state of chromium must balance this out. Therefore, the oxidation state of chromium must be +6. 4. **Check overall charge**: - The total charge from the complex is -6, and with potassium's +1, the overall charge becomes -5. This indicates that the complex cannot exist as a neutral compound, making this name impossible. ### Step 2: Analyze Option B - Barium Tetrafluoridophus 1. **Identify the components**: The name suggests barium (Ba) as the cation and a complex anion involving chromium with four fluoride ions. 2. **Determine oxidation states**: - Barium (Ba) is a group 2 element, so its oxidation state is +2. - Each fluoride ion (F) has an oxidation state of -1, and there are four fluoride ions: \(4 \times (-1) = -4\). 3. **Calculate the total oxidation state of the complex**: - The total from fluoride is -4. For the complex to be neutral, the oxidation state of chromium must be +2. 4. **Check overall charge**: - The total charge from the complex is -4, and with barium's +2, the overall charge becomes -2. This indicates that the complex can exist as a neutral compound, making this name possible. ### Step 3: Analyze Option C - Dichlorobisuria Copper(II) 1. **Identify the components**: The name suggests copper (Cu) as the central metal with two chloride ions (Cl) and two urea (NH2CO) ligands. 2. **Determine oxidation states**: - Copper (Cu) is given as +2. - Each urea is neutral (0 oxidation state), and there are two urea molecules: \(2 \times 0 = 0\). - Each chloride ion (Cl) has an oxidation state of -1, and there are two chloride ions: \(2 \times (-1) = -2\). 3. **Calculate the total oxidation state of the complex**: - The total from chloride is -2. The oxidation state of copper is +2, leading to a total of \(+2 - 2 = 0\). 4. **Check overall charge**: - The total charge from the complex is 0, meaning this complex can exist without a counter ion, making this name possible. ### Conclusion After analyzing all options, we conclude that the impossible name is **Option A - Potassium Tetrafluoridophus**.

To determine which of the given names is impossible, we will analyze each option step by step, focusing on the oxidation states and the overall charge balance in the complexes. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A - Potassium Tetrafluoridophus 1. **Identify the components**: The name suggests a complex with potassium (K) as the cation and a complex anion involving chromium (Cr) with four fluoride ions (F) and one oxide ion (O). 2. **Determine oxidation states**: - Potassium (K) is a group 1 element, so its oxidation state is +1. - Each fluoride ion (F) has an oxidation state of -1, and there are four fluoride ions: \(4 \times (-1) = -4\). - The oxide ion (O) has an oxidation state of -2. ...
