While assigning the name of complex compounds, the correct order is
Correct answer: A. Cation, Coordination Sphere, Anion
- A. Cation, Coordination Sphere, Anion
- B. Coordination Sphere, Cation, Anion
- C. Cation, Anion, Coordination Sphere
- D. Anion, Coordination Sphere, Cation
Explanation
It is a basic rule of nomenclature of complex compounds that cations are named before anions. Moreover, name of cations is followed by name of coordintion sphere that is further followed by name of anion. Thus the correct order is cation, coordination sphere, anion.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
