QuestionDetails: Give the formula for thefollowing.      

pentaammineiodorhodium(III) iodide

A coordination compound would have the answer format, forexample: [Cr(NH3)5I]I2
Do not put parentheses around a single atom e.g.use Cl2 NOT (Cl) The answer is not [Rh(NH3)5I]I2, [Rh(NH3)5(I)]I2, [Rh(NH3)5I]I3, or [Rh(NH3)5(I2)]I or[Rh(NH3)5I2]I   QuestionDetails: Give the formula for thefollowing.

Explanation / Answer

Penta amine says there are 5 NH3 groups, and iodo tells you that there is one Iodine group attached to the base metal Rhodium. Because rhodium has an oxidation state of +3, we know that to get neutrality we need to have 3 Iodine ions attached. so it would look like [Rh(NH3)5(I)]I3
