Q5.6 (ii):
Using IUPAC norms write the formulas: Potassium tetrachloridopalladate(II)

Solution :

Step 1: Analyzing the IUPAC Name Components

To determine the chemical formula for Potassium tetrachloridopalladate(II), we must decompose the name into its coordination constituents based on IUPAC nomenclature rules [Per IUPAC Red Book]:

  • Cation: Potassium ($K^+$). The absence of a numerical prefix indicates the quantity will be determined by charge balance.
  • Ligand: "Tetrachlorido" implies four chloro ligands ($Cl^-$). The suffix "-o" signifies an anionic ligand.
  • Central Metal Atom: "Palladate" ends in "-ate," indicating that the coordination entity is an anion. The root "pallad-" refers to Palladium ($Pd$).
  • Oxidation State: (II) indicates that the oxidation state of the central metal ($Pd$) is $+2$.

Step 2: Determining the Coordination Entity Charge

The coordination entity is an anionic complex containing one $Pd$ atom and four $Cl$ ligands. We calculate the net charge ($x$) of the coordination sphere as follows:

$x = (\text{Oxidation state of metal}) + (\text{Number of ligands} \times \text{Charge of ligand})$

$x = (+2) + (4 \times -1)$

$x = +2 - 4 = -2$

Thus, the complex ion is $[PdCl_4]^{2-}$. [By the principle of electro-neutrality in coordination spheres].

Step 3: Balancing the Formula

To form a neutral compound, the positive charge of the Potassium ions ($K^+$) must balance the negative charge of the coordination entity ($[PdCl_4]^{2-}$):

Let $n$ be the number of Potassium ions required:

$n(+1) + 1(-2) = 0$

$n = 2$

Therefore, two $K^+$ ions are required to balance one $[PdCl_4]^{2-}$ ion.

Visual Representation of the Complex Ion

Pd Cl- Cl- Cl- Cl- Charge: 2-

Step 4: Final Construction

Combining the cation and the anionic coordination entity, we arrive at the chemical formula:

$K_2[PdCl_4]$

Final Solution: $K_2[PdCl_4]$
