पर्याय

• Diamminedichloridoplatinum (II)

• Diamminedichloridoplatinum (IV)

• Diamminedichloridoplatinum (O)

• Diamminedichloridoplatinate (IV)

Answer 1

The correct IUPAC name of [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂]²⁺ is Diamminedichloridoplatinum (IV).

Explanation:

Diammine dichloridoplatinum (IV), where diammine indicates two neutral ammine (NH₃) ligands and dichlorido indicates two chlorido (Cl⁻) ligands. Since ammine is neutral and each chlorido ligand carries −1 charge, the oxidation state of platinum is +4, giving the complex an overall charge of +2.
