Order of Ligands
The book says that in some cases the order of ligands in the name is not the same as the order in the formula. How would we know if that's the case?

Re: Order of Ligands
You want to always name the ligands in alphabetical order based on the root (not the prefix), regardless of the formula order.

Re: Order of Ligands
If something needs to be emphasized, the ordering of ligands would be different.

Re: Order of Ligands
Ligands should be named in alphabetical order, but ignore the prefixes when you’re arranging them!
