The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct IUPAC name for the coordination compound \([CrF_2(en)_2]Cl\), we will follow a systematic approach. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the components of the complex:** - The complex consists of a chromium (Cr) metal center, two fluoride (F) ligands, and two ethylenediamine (en) ligands. Additionally, there is a chloride (Cl) ion outside the coordination sphere. 2. **Determine the oxidation state of the metal:** - The fluoride ion (F) has a charge of -1, and there are two fluoride ions, contributing a total charge of -2. - Ethylenediamine (en) is a neutral ligand, contributing 0 to the charge. - Let the oxidation state of chromium be \(x\). The overall charge of the complex must be neutral since it is a coordination compound. - The equation can be set up as: \[ x + (-2) + 0 = 0 \implies x = +2 \] - Therefore, the oxidation state of chromium in this complex is +2. 3. **Name the ligands:** - The ligands are named in alphabetical order based on their names, regardless of their charges. - The fluoride ion is named as "fluoro". - The ethylenediamine (en) ligand is named as "ethylenediamine" (it is a bidentate ligand). - Therefore, we have: - 2 Fluoro ligands: "difluoro" - 2 Ethylenediamine ligands: "diethylenediamine" 4. **Combine the names of the ligands:** - The ligands are combined in alphabetical order, so we write "diethylenediamine" before "difluoro". - Thus, the ligand part of the name becomes: "diethylenediamine difluoro". 5. **Name the metal and its oxidation state:** - The metal is chromium, and since we have determined its oxidation state to be +2, we denote this in the name as "chromium(II)". 6. **Combine all parts to form the complete name:** - The complete name of the coordination compound is: \[ \text{diethylenediamine difluorochromium(II) chloride} \] ### Final Answer: The correct IUPAC name for \([CrF_2(en)_2]Cl\) is **diethylenediamine difluorochromium(II) chloride**.

To determine the correct IUPAC name for the coordination compound \([CrF_2(en)_2]Cl\), we will follow a systematic approach. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the components of the complex:** - The complex consists of a chromium (Cr) metal center, two fluoride (F) ligands, and two ethylenediamine (en) ligands.
