Answer 1

Answer:

Potassium dicarbonatedifluoroplatinate (II)

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the IUPAC rules, the given compound is a complex called potassium dicarbonatodifluoroplatinate (II) as long as the carbonate ion is present twice as a monodentate ligand therefore it is preceded by a "di" prefix. In addition, two fluorines are also present with the "di" prefix as well as a platinum which complete the anionic section including +2 as the platinum oxidation state.

Best regards.

Answer 2

The IUPAC name of compound is Potassium dicarbonatodifluoroplatinate (II)

*Note, since carbonate ion is acting as monodentate ligand, prefix of 'di' is used. In case, if it had been a bidentate ligand prefix 'bis' would have been used.
