Naming of compounds with multiple ligands
Posted: Fri Dec 07, 2018 12:17 am
I get that ligands are put in order when naming a compound but why is that it is different in the chemical formula? An example of this is [FeCl(OH2)5]+ and the name is pentaaquachloridoiron(II) and i get that but why is chlorine in front of the water in the formula?
