Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_3\right]_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given name is of cation type complex. Thus, its formula is \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_3\right]_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3\) and is named as tris (ethane 1, 2, diammine) cobalt (III) sulphate. The following rules are used while naming the complex : (i) The cation is…
