Which type of complex is Diamminedichloroplatinum(II)?

Options

  1. ACationic
  2. BAnionic
  3. CNeutral
  4. DChelate

Correct answer

C. Neutral

Step-by-step solution

The given complex is Diamminedichloroplatinum(II). The chemical formula of the complex is [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂] . The oxidation state of platinum (Pt) is +2 . The ligands are two ammine ( NH₃ ) molecules, which are neutral, and two chloride ( Cl^- ) ions, which have a charge of -1 each. Total charge on the complex sphere = +2 + 2(0) + 2(-1) = 0 . Since the net charge on the coordination sphere is zero, it is a neutral complex. Answer: Neutral
