Ferrate and Cuprate? [ENDORSED]

[Frederick Keith_4C]

When do I use the terms ferrate and cuprate instead of just iron and copper??

[Alfred Barrion 2H]

You use ferrate and cuprate when naming a coordination compound.

[Martina]

If the complex is negative you have to add -ate to the end of the metal. The only exception is iron and copper, which change to ferrate and cuprate.

[lilymayek_1E]

ferrate and cuprate are used when the coordination complex is negative overall. all of the metals can have -ate added to the end of their names, but iron and copper need to be in their latin terms (an easy way to remember is that iron = Fe & copper = Cu. FErrate and CUprate).

[selatran1h]

they are used when iron and copper occur as the anion in the coordination compound

[Merin Padayatty 3G]

The the coordination complex has an overall negative charge, you would use ferrate instead of iron and cuprate instead of copper.
