Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complex [Cu(NH3)4]Cl2 consists of a copper ion coordinated to four ammonia molecules, making it a tetraammine complex. The copper ion has a +2 oxidation state, and the chloride ions are outside the coordination sphere. Therefore, the correct name is tetraamminecopper(II) chloride.
