Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula given in the question is for a complex ion containing iron and cyanide ligands. The prefix "hexa-" indicates that there are six cyanide ligands, and the suffix "-ate" indicates that the complex ion has a negative charge. The Roman numerals in parentheses after the metal name indicate the oxidation state of the metal ion, which in this case is +2. Therefore, the correct name for the complex ion is hexacyanoferrate(II).
