Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prefix "triammine" indicates three ammonia ligands, and "tricarbonylchromium" indicates chromium coordinated to three carbonyl ligands. The "(0)" indicates that the oxidation state of chromium is zero. The sulfur and nitrogen-containing ligands are named as "₃" and "NH₃" respectively, but they have no impact on the overall name of the complex.
