Given the compound, [Pt(NH

3

)

4

(NO

2

)Cl]SO

4

.

Here, we know SO

4

has −2 charge.

So, the overall charge on Pt(NH

3

)

4

(NO

2

)Cl] is +2. Cl and NO

2

has −1 valency each.

Therefore, charge on Pt has to be +4 to balance the overall charge.

Therefore, the IUPAC name of [Pt(NH

3

)

4

(NO

2

)Cl]SO
