Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans. In nomenclature of complex compounds, cuprate means anionic copper complex, i.e. a Cu-complex with net negative charge on it.

Tetrachlorocuprate means a cuprate with four Cl-atoms.

So,

Tetrachlorocuprate = [CuCl₄]^2-

Cu is in oxidation state of +2, Cl has oxidation number of -1. So, the net charge on complex is -2 (for Cu(II)).

# To make the overall complex neutral with Li, there must be two Li-atoms (Li has oxidation number of +1).

So,

Overall complex is – Li₂[CuCl₄]

Therefore: lithium tetrachlorocuprate = Li₂[CuCl₄]

Correct option is- b. Li₂[CuCl₄]
