Hexaaquacopper(II) Ion (6 water molecules as ligands, copper +2 ion
and complex ion is a cation)
Cu(H2O)6 2+
Tetraamminediaquacopper (II) Ion (4 NH3 ligands, 2 water ligands,
copper +2 ion and complex ion is a cation)
Tetrachlorocuprate (II) Ion (cuprate ending tells you this is a complex
ion that is an anion)
