Question

Name the complex Ni(\(PF_6\))\(_2\):

• A. Tetra(Phosphorus (III) fluoride) nickel
• B. Tetra(phosphorus (III) fluoride) nickel
• C. Tetra(phosphorus (III) fluoride) nickel (III)
• D. None of the above

Hint:

In naming coordination complexes, specify the number of each type of ligand and the oxidation state of the metal.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Naming coordination complexes. The given complex consists of nickel coordinated with \( PF_6 \) ligands. The correct way to name this is as "Tetra(phosphorus (III) fluoride) nickel."
Step 2: Conclusion. Thus, the correct name is "Tetra(phosphorus (III) fluoride) nickel."
