Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 5
(a)
From the given,
The name of the compound - tetraaquadibromomananese(lll) perchlorate.
In this complex,
The central metal atom - Mn (manganese)
Let’s identify the number of each type of ligand in this complex
Tetraaqua - four ligands
Dibromo - Two bromine ligands
The formula of perchlorate ion -
The roman numeral in parentheses indicates the oxidation number of manganese in the complex
Therefore, the formula of the compound is .
