MCQ
$\text{IUPAC}$ name for the complex $\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4\right] \mathrm{SO}_4$​ is:
  • A
    Cupramonium sulphate.
  • B
    Copper sulphate tetraamonia.
  • Tetrammine copper $(II)$ sulphate.
  • D
    Copper amonium $(IV)$ sulphate.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Tetrammine copper $(II)$ sulphate.
Since $4$ amino groups are present, it will be called as tetrammine.
Since copper$(II)$ is the central metal, it will be tetrammine copper$(II).$ Note that we can determine the oxidation number of copper by charge balance.
Now finally since sulphate is the counter ion, it's full name will be tetrammine copper$(II)$ sulphate.
