Question

What is the formula of silver Diamine Chloride?

Answer 1

Diammine means two molecules of a monodentate amine or species having a nitrogen donor atom in -3 oxidation state I.e NH3 . Please pay attention to the spelling as u have spelled it all wrong. I single ‘m’ in the spelling of amine signifies a polydentate ligand whereas a double m I.e ‘mm’ in the ammune represents a monodentate ligand with nitrogen as donor atom in the ligand with -3 oxidation state of N atom ofcourse.

Now we have two NH3’s along with silver chloride. Silver or Ag exhibits a common oxidation state of +1 which is satisfied by the chloride ion(Cl-). Thus the formMula comes up to be [Ag(NH3)2]Cl.
