Metal Suffix

Postby Hannah Faris 1C » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:24 pm

Can someone remind me again, when is the suffix -ate added to metals?

Thanks!

-ate is added as a suffix to the transition metal if the whole ligand itself has an overall negative charge.

Yes, you only add -ate if the whole compound is negative.
