Question:medium
The IUPAC name of the complex [Co(NH\textsubscript{3})\textsubscript{2}(H\textsubscript{2}O)\textsubscript{4}]Cl\textsubscript{3 is}
The IUPAC name of the complex [Co(NH\textsubscript{3})\textsubscript{2}(H\textsubscript{2}O)\textsubscript{4}]Cl\textsubscript{3 is}
Show Hint
In IUPAC naming, the number of counter ions (the ones outside the bracket) is never indicated by prefixes like 'di' or 'tri'. The name "trichloride" (Options A and D) is an immediate disqualifier!
