The IUPAC name for \(K_2[Cr(CN)_2O_2(O_2)NH_3]\) is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is option 1. potassium amminedicyanodioxoperoxochromate (VI).
Here, the given compound is \(K_2[Cr(CN)_2O_2(O_2)NH_3]\)
Let us first find the oxidation number of the central metal ion, i.e., \(Cr\)
Here the given ligands are:
| Ligand | Name | Charge |
| \(CN\) | cyano | \(-1\) |
| \(O^{2-}\) | oxo | \(-2\) |
| \(O_2^{2-}\) | peroxo | \(-2\) |
| \(NH_3\) | ammine | \(0\) |
Let the Oxidation number of \(Cr\) be \(x\)
\(∴ 2(1) + x + 2(-1) + 2(-2) + 1(-2) + 1(0) = 0\)
\(⇒ 2 + x -2 - 4 -2 + 0 = 0\)
\(⇒ x - 6 = 0\)
\(⇒ x = 6\)
Thus the name of the complex will be: \(\text{Potassium amminedicyanodioxoperoxo chromate(VI)}\)
