Ethylenediamine (en) is a neutral bidentate ligand, so all three en ligands together contribute 0 to the complex charge; since the overall complex charge is (balancing the three counter ions) and the ligands contribute nothing, chromium itself must be : chromium(III). For the multiplying prefix on the ligand: because the ligand's own name, 'ethylenediamine', already contains the syllable 'di' (which could be confused with a multiplying prefix if the ordinary prefix 'tri-' were used, risking the misreading 'tri-ethylenediamine' as some different '(ethylenedi)amine' ligand entirely), IUPAC rules require the alternative multiplying prefix tris- i …
