In which of the following, the chemical formula is INCORRECTLY matched with their IUPAC names.
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Option (A), (B) and (D) are correctly named according to IUPAC nomenclature rules of coordination compounds.
In option (C), Na₂[Ni(EDTA)] contains the ligand EDTA⁴⁻ (ethylenediaminetetraacetato), not ethylenediaminetriacetato as written in the name.
EDTA has four acetate groups, whereas triacetato means only three acetate groups.
Therefore, the given IUPAC name does not correspond to the formula.
Hence, option (C) is incorrectly matched.
