\\ is named as tetrakis (ethylene-diammine)

\mu

-hydroxo-m-imido dicobalt (III) ion. Reason : In naming polynuclear complexes i.e., containing two or more metal atoms joined by bridging ligands, the word

\mu

is added with hyphen before the name of such ligands.

Options

AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
CIf assertion is true but reason is false
DIf both assertion and reason are false.

Correct answer

A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

Step-by-step solution

is named as tetrakis (ethylenediammine)-

\mu

-hydroxo-

\mu

-imido dicobalt (III) ion. For more than one bridging group the word

\mu

is repeated before each bridging group.
