Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prefix "triammino" indicates the presence of three ammonia (NH3) ligands. The suffix "-carbonyl" indicates three carbon monoxide (CO) ligands. The prefix "chrom" indicates the central chromium atom. The subscript "(0)" indicates that the overall charge of the complex is neutral. The sulfur ligands are denoted by the prefix "thio" or the symbol "S", but they do not affect the order or naming of the ligands. The correct name for this compound is triamminetricarbonylchromium(0), so choice D is the best answer.
