NEET Chemistry Ligands Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In coordination compounds, the naming of ligands is done alphabetically, irrespective of their charge.
Reason (R): The IUPAC draft recommends that anionic ligands' names should end with '-ido'.
Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true, but the alphabetical naming of ligands is independent of the '-ido' naming recommendation for anionic ligands.
