Answer : The formula of hexaaquamanganese(II)sulfate is .
Explanation :
Rules for writing formulas of coordination complexes :
- Central metal is written first and then the ligands are written along with their prefixes.
- The anion ligands are written before the neutral ligands.
- If there are more than one anion ligands or neutral ligands then they are written in alphabetical order.
The given name of complex is, hexaaquamanganese(ii) sulfate.
In this, the central metal is manganese which is written as Mn and the ligand is water (which is a neutral ligand) is written as and an anion is sulfate which is written as
.
Water is a neutral ligand and sulphate has a charge of -2. As the overall complex is neutral the metal bears a +2 charge which is represented in Roman numeral after the metal.
Therefore, the formula of hexaaquamanganese(II)sulfate is written as .
