Give the systematic name for Cr(CO)₃(NH₃)₃. A) chromiumtriaminotricarbonyl B)triamminechromium carbonate C)triamminetricarbonylchromate(0) D)triamminetricarbonylchromium(0) E)None of these choices are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complex contains a chromium atom (Cr) coordinated to three ammine ligands (triammine) and three carbonyl ligands (tricarbonyl). The overall charge on the complex is 0 (chromium is in the 0 oxidation state). Therefore, the correct systematic name is triamminetricarbonylchromium(0) (D). Option A contains the incorrect ligand sulfide (₃) and option B contains the incorrect ligand carbonate. Option C is not the preferred nomenclature for chromium complexes, as the preferred oxidation state for chromium is the roman numeral notation, which is not used here.
