Question

The formula dichlorobis (urea) copper (II) is

• A. \left[ CuCl _{2}\left\\{ CO \left( NH _{2}\right)\right\\}_{2}\right]
• B. \left[ CuCl _{2}\left\\{ CO \left( NH _{2}\right)_{2}\right\\}_{2}\right] Cl _{2}
• C. \left[ CuCl _{2}\right]\left\\{ CO \left( NH _{2}\right)\right\\}_{2}
• D. \left[ CuCl _{2}\left\\{ CO \left( NH _{2}\right)_{2}\right\\}_{2}\right]

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

\left[ CuCl _{2}\left\\{ CO \left( NH _{2}\right)_{2}\right\\}_{2}\right]

Answer 2

The formula for the complex dichlorobis (urea) copper (II) is $\left[ CuCl _{2}\left( CO \left( NH _{2}\right)_{2}\right)_{2}\right] .$ As simplifying the nomenclature,there are $2 Cl$ ligands present in the complex and 2 urea ligands that are there in the complex as well, the $Cu$, is present in $+2$ oxidation state.
