Question

According to IUPAC nomenclatures, sodium nitroprusside is named as

Options

• Sodium'nitro Ferri cyanide

• Sodium nitre ferro cyanide

• Sodilim penta cyanonitrosyl ferrate (II)

• Sodium penta cyanotrosyl ferrate (II)

Answer 1

Sodium nitre ferro cyanide

Explanation:

The sodium nitropurside formula is Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO]

• The name of sodium cation comes first.

• Ligand names are written in alphabetical order.

• As a result, "Cyano" will be written before "Nitrosyl".

• Ferrate is the chemical formula for iron metal.

x + 5 × (–1) + 1 x (+1) = – 2

x = +2

• As a result, the complex's name is sodium pentacyanonitro syleferrate (II).
