Question

The IUPAC name of $[Ni(NH_3 )_4][NiCl_4]$ is

Tetrachloronickel (Il)-tetraamminenickel (II)

Tetraamminenickel (Il)-tetrachloronickel (II)

Tetraamminenickel (Il)-tetrachloronickelate (II)

Tetrachloronickel (Il)-tetraamminenickelate (0)

Answer

Tetraamminenickel (Il)-tetrachloronickelate (II)

Explanation

Solution

$[Ni(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$ = tetraamminenickel (II)
$[NiCl_4]^{2-}$ = tetrachloronickelate (II)
Cationic part is named first, hence : tetraamminenickel (Il)-tetrachloronickelate(II)
