Capitolo 21, Problema 83b

Write the formula for each of the following compounds.
(c) Hexacarbonylmolybdenum(0)
(d) Diamminebis(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) chloride

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the central metal atom and its oxidation state for each compound.
For hexacarbonylmolybdenum(0), note that 'hexa' indicates six carbonyl (CO) ligands bonded to molybdenum (Mo) with an oxidation state of 0.
Write the formula for hexacarbonylmolybdenum(0) as \( \text{Mo(CO)}_6 \).
For diamminebis(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) chloride, identify the ligands: 'diammine' means two ammonia (NH3) ligands, and 'bis(ethylenediamine)' means two ethylenediamine (en) ligands, with chromium (Cr) in a +3 oxidation state.
Write the formula for diamminebis(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) chloride as \( [\text{Cr(NH}_3\text{)}_2(\text{en})_2]\text{Cl}_3 \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Coordination Compounds

Coordination compounds consist of a central metal atom bonded to surrounding molecules or ions called ligands. The nature of these ligands, whether they are neutral or charged, and their arrangement around the metal center significantly influence the properties and reactivity of the compound. Understanding the coordination number and geometry is essential for writing the correct formulas for these compounds.

Coordination Compound Naming

Oxidation States

The oxidation state of an element in a compound indicates the degree of oxidation or reduction it has undergone. In coordination compounds, the oxidation state of the central metal ion is crucial for determining the overall charge of the complex. For example, in hexacarbonylmolybdenum(0), the '0' indicates that molybdenum is in the zero oxidation state, which affects how it interacts with ligands.

Oxidation Numbers

Nomenclature of Coordination Complexes

The nomenclature of coordination complexes follows specific rules set by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). This includes naming the ligands first, followed by the metal and its oxidation state in Roman numerals. For example, in diamminebis(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) chloride, 'diammine' and 'bis(ethylenediamine)' indicate the types and numbers of ligands, while '(III)' denotes the oxidation state of chromium.
